Wasco

Wasco County combines dry inland plateaus with forested Cascade slopes in a way that reflects its position between the Columbia River Gorge and central Oregon. The Columbia River forms its northern edge, while the county reaches south toward high country east of Mount Hood. The Dalles, the county seat, developed as a Columbia River port and transportation centre. Its historic downtown and riverfront setting recall the importance of this route through the Pacific Northwest; farther south, farms, rangeland and conifer forests shape a quieter interior.
