Viento State Park Appropriately enough
for a park in the blustery Columbia River Gorge, the park's
name, pronounced vee-EN-toe, is Spanish for wind. Just an odd
coincidence, actually. In this case, the Viento comes from the
first letters of three railroad tycoons - Villard, Endicott,
and Tollman -who put the first railroad in the area. Where a
railroad station once stood is now the home of one of the
Gorge's best kept secrets: Viento is a great place to camp!
With modern campsites, Viento almost always has a spot
available when other campgrounds in the area are full. No
reservations are accepted; camping is first-come,
first-served. On weekends in the summer, rangers provide
interpretive programs. A fully-accessible restroom is located
here. Services and Things to Do
