7 Best Places to Watch a Sunset in Tri-Cities
One of my favorite things about late summer is the sunsets. Ideally, a great spot to watch one will be somewhere you can finish off a hike, or cast a line, or make out, or enjoy a meal... maybe all the above!

Geisa Stadium
There's nothing like watching a Dust Devils game and seeing the colors and shadows splash across the region.

Bateman Island Parking Lot
It's such a great place to chill the city has even built a plaza to relax on while you watch sunsets. It's right next to great food, and Bateman is always a great place to take a walk.

Jump Off Joe
When it was hard to get up there it was a favorite party spot. Now it's a beautiful vantage point to enjoy the Mid Columbia. Bring your own beverages, but this is my personal favorite for watching a sunset.

Rattlesnake Ridge
Your access is limited to who you know, but this is the highest point in the Mid Columbia and therefore offers the best views.

Gazebo at Badger Mountain Community Park
Let your dogs run, kids can climb the playground toys, then enjoy this unique view. It's a beautiful and under-appreciated park.

Badger Mountain
The trail is easy to hike down at night, especially if you bring a flashlight. So maybe hike up there with some dinner or snacks and enjoy a special moment.

Clover Island
All the restaurants there have decks, there is an attractive trail to walk around the island. It's a favorite place to take photos.
