Howard Amon Park

Reviewed By Rev-Kel - Rapid City, United States

Howard Amon Park is in great shape with lots of lawn, picnic tables, and benches. There is a large play area for children, a small amphetheter, and picnic shelters. A riverboat docks there several times a during the week in the summer months. There is a paved walking trail stretching miles long for biking, walking, or jogging.

Sacagawea Heritage Trail

Reviewed By SillyAndie - Coulee Dam, United States

Great are for walking, running, hiking, or even just a leisurely stroll. In the winter, you can easily find animal tracks to identify. Fun little bridge to walk across and even some benches to sit on. I imagine it would be great for bird watching in the warmer months.

LIGO Hanford Observatory

Reviewed By SteveG864 - Richland, United States

LIGO Hanford is one of the two Laser Interferometry Gravitational Observatories that first detected the gravitational wave propagating from the collision of two black holes a few years ago and then more recently two neutron stars. For this the LIGO team was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics. The tour is fascinating, as you'll get a sense of the unprecedented precision with which distance is measured. Mind-blowing. Check ahead for when tours are operating.

Very interesting piece of history, part of the Columbia River Sacajawea bike trail system. You would enjoy the bike with this as the start point.
