Towering white bluffs, massive sand dunes, pelican colonies, brilliant wildflowers, and the last free flowing nontidal section of the Columbia River all help make the Hanford Reach one of the most dramatic natural areas in the state. Follow a rudimentary trail across bluff tops and to shifting dunes. Survey a wild riverbank and a restricted area across the Columbia, where the atomic age was born.
