Great views and plenty of sunshine. Short drive to local wineries, U-Picks, boating and fishing on the Columbia, hiking and biking. Great view of the Tri-cities and Badger Mountain without the hassle and traffic of being in the cities. Light pollution is pretty low so clear skies for viewing the stars. Hanford site is only 30 minute drive away. This is a high desert area, it can get pretty hot ( 95°F to over 100°F, 32°C to over 38°C) from July till mid-August give or take a few weeks. It can also snow usually from the end of December to February. So plan accordingly. Suggested Local Attractions: - On or near Hanford Site (B-Reactor Tour, Ligo Observatory, Tritan Sail Park) - The Mammoth dig site - Local Wineries - Badge Mountain Hiking trail. Candy Mountain Hiking Trail - Lots of U-Picks in the area when in season - Within 4 hours of Seattle and Portland
