Things to Do — The Backstage Pass

Outdoors

Hike the Ancient Lakes

Trails wind through coulees, waterfalls, and basalt cliffs minutes from the property — one of central Washington's most striking day hikes.

Nearby

Wine

Tour the wine country

Beyond Cave B, the Ancient Lakes AVA is dotted with boutique wineries and tasting rooms set against the river canyon.

10+ min

Golf

Play Desert Aire

Tee off at the Desert Aire golf course down along the river — a relaxed round with big-sky views.

Short drive

River

Columbia River days

Boating, paddleboarding, and swimming at Crescent Bar and along the Columbia — bring the cooler and make a day of it.

Short drive

Eat

Casual eats in Sunland

Hop in the car for a pizza in Sunland, or grab supplies in Quincy and George before settling in for the night.

~15 min

Stay In

Do absolutely nothing

Honestly the best option: stream your own music on the Bose soundbar or spin vinyl on the turntable, watch your favorite shows, movies, or sports on the smart TV, pour a bottle from Cave B, and take in the greatest sunset show in Washington from your own patio.
