Walk-in campsites at Daroga State Park are worth the effort. Sweeping foothill views, lakeside, partial shade, wind/privacy fences, & access to a private lagoon - great for night sky swimming. Located between the more well known Lakes Chelan & Wenatchee. #roadtrip #findjoy #PNW #DarogaSP #WAStatePks

Chelan Falls, WA.So hard to say goodbye to the river. Today is my last day fishing summer salmon season.

Was able to stock up on enough sockeye until next season. Upper Columbia salmon season was tough this year. If you fished it this year, how'd you do?

Wells Dam, WA. You can find this dam along the Columbia River near Chelan. The tall doorway to the right is a fish ladder. There's one ladder on each side of the dam. Salmon and other fish use them to swim upstream past our dams and toward spawning grounds.
