The Discover Lewis County Photo Contest recently concluded, displaying the region’s unique charm and natural beauty under the theme “Showcasing Lewis County”. The contest, which took place from June 15 to August 16, 2024, invited photographers to capture the diverse landscapes and vibrant communities that define Lewis County.
The first place winner is Aaron Wilson, who won the $1,000 prize with his breathtaking photograph of Goat Lake Basin, capturing a stunning view looking south towards Mount Adams on a cool summer morning. The second place prize of $500 was awarded to Linda Ray for her mesmerizing photo of Cathedral Falls, a hidden gem near Riffe Lake in the Gifford-Pinchot National Forest. Cathedral Falls, known for its serene cascade through a lush, narrow gorge, offers hikers a quiet escape along scenic trails surrounded by dense forest.
