Sometimes it’s easy to get wrapped up in our day-to-day lives and forget that we live in the most beautiful state in the country. Our natural wonders are second to none, and they’re scattered across the state, from the coast to the Palouse. If you’re a nature lover, it’s safe to say Washington has something for everyone.
Of course, it’s not always possible to explore our top natural wonders for free. That’s why we’re highlighting these six stunners — checking them out won’t cost you a thing.
Dry Falls is located about an hour north of Moses Lake, near Coulee City. Long before it dried up, massive glaciers melted over several centuries, which would have made this the world's biggest waterfall. If you park at the Visitor Center you'll need a Discover Pass, but the area is free to see.
We're so incredibly lucky to have the Columbia River Gorge as part of our border with Oregon. There's plenty to see on the Washington side, from waterfall hikes to charming small towns with great breweries and restaurants. Plus, the river itself is simply breathtaking.

Of course, admission to Mount Rainier National Park isn't free. Luckily, we can see the mountain from practically anywhere in Western Washington, hence the slogan "the mountain is out."
