There isn't much to Carson, Washington. In fact, a friend of mine who has lived for nine years just twenty miles away from it on the same state road did not even know that it existed. No matter. It serves as a departure point for some of the most unspoiled and dramatic wilderness in the Columbia River Gorge.

Oh, and the view isn't bad, either.

Sunset Motel Hood River

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean and comfortable; however, a bit on the smaller side. Parking right outside the room was very handy. Good location."

Bonneville Hot Springs Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The clerk was super attentive and helpful. Our room was comfortable and clean, really clean. Smelled very nice as well. I wish we could have stayed here the whole trip. The AC, had a fan option which helped with the quietness of the woods. The only thing that was a problem for us was their pre-check website didn’t recognize our travel number, and it was quite a ways off the road making us believe we had missed it. Once we found it, it was great. Also, our flight was delayed so we got there late. "
