Fall into the Gorge: Seasonal Adventures in Central Washington

By K Rose’ Hospitality

As the summer crowds fade and the air turns crisp, fall brings a quieter kind of magic to Central Washington. Whether you're here for a weekend escape, a scenic wine tasting, or an outdoor adventure the Gorge region offers unforgettable experiences wrapped in golden light and autumn charm.

Here’s your guide to the best things to do in the fall near the Gorge Amphitheatre and Quincy:

Hike the Ancient Lakes Trail

Cooler temps make fall the ideal time to explore this stunning desert trail. Expect dramatic basalt cliffs, quiet lakes, and golden grasses—just a short drive from most of our rentals.

Wine Tasting at Cave B Estate Winery

Fall is harvest season, which means the vineyards are buzzing. Enjoy a tasting flight with river views, and if you’re lucky, catch a glimpse of the grape crush in action.

Wildlife Watching at Ginkgo Petrified Forest

Just across the river, this unique park offers fall foliage, ancient fossils, and sweeping views of the Columbia River. Bring binoculars—eagles and hawks are often spotted overhead.
