The Gorge Amphitheater

High on the cliffs above the Colombia River, The Gorge is one of the best music venues in the country. A natural ravine coalesces at a cliff edge where a large stage hosts the biggest acts on tour in the Northwest. The 20,000 seat venue is privilege to both the stunning view and sound quality resulting from the natural theatre like setting. Visitors usually spend the night at Gorge campground in front of the venue. Here, all manners of cars, campers, RV’s or simple tents are scattered across for an often rowdy night of celebration. Vehicles are charged 40 dollars for access and individual campers an extra 10. The Gorge is in George, Washington, an easy three hour drive east on I-90. There is very limited motel accommodation nearby and the isolated nature of the area means it’s better to pack your own. The venue is the annual host of Sasquatch Festival in May.
