Located approximately three hours east of Seattle, the Gorge is definitely worth the drive. Spring for a reserved seat or go for general admission on one of the grassy knolls. Either way, there's nothing like watching a performance at sunset, with the scenic backdrop of the Columbia River gorge behind the stage. Camp in the field nearby if you're up for a rowdy atmosphere, or stay at a hotel in a nearby town if you'd prefer a good night's sleep.
