I've been in Vantage plenty of times, never fished. Not sure how the fishing from shore would be. The petrified forest is pretty cool.

My work schedule has me off on Tues and Wed right now, and switching to Sunday and Monday soon, but with enough advanced notice I could probably mix it up.

If I go I can drive, I've got room for 5 (4 and me) if we squeeze. 3-4 would be more comfortable. My car is a POS that gets good gas mileage.

Man check out that view!!!!

Wow that's nice. I didn't think there was such a nice spot in Washington state. back in the day when gas prices where 0.98 cents a gallon I would be all over it :(

Someone needs to take pictures if you guys make it out there.

I think there is sturgeon in those waters.

Psh. You aren't looking too hard then. It's beautiful most places.

I actually just got back from a little trip to Wenatchee, fished Tuesday and caught 16 trout. 11 wild (creek fish) and 5 planters (in lakes). I took second to my buddy, who got 18. Was supposed to go rafting today but the weather was crappy.

I can see about getting the 21st off. I'm heading to Colorado on the 23rd (for fishing, rock climbing, and rafting), and could just take off work a day early.

Or up at Sunrise at Mt. Rainier (from last summer)

I prefer forests, rivers, and alpine lakes but on the east side there are plenty of places at least as nice as that, like the Palouse Falls. I actually find Eastern Washington pretty blah.

Or Dry Falls. Crazy story with that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_Falls

Or how about Olympic National Park? I can't even describe this place besides a gem of the USA. I could pull these photos up all day...

Tell me where you live and I can point you in the direction of a plethora of beautiful places. Washington has amazing natural beauty. I wouldn't live anywhere else, besides British Columbia, Canada.

Thanks for the pics, those lake pictures look awesome.

I googled echo lake and got this: http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?city=Echo Lake&state=WA&country=us
There's no way that place is in this location on the map.

I live in Marysville 98270
Let me know what you can find, I have'nt found any really amazing, good places but nothing super like what I've seen in the pictures above.
or maybe I don't get out enough :grinno:

I like to travel North or east since the traffic is not bad in those directions :P

I've always been interested in Canada, looks like they have allot of amazing places for fishing and just taking in some scenery.
