Bingen, Washington (Cities) image The neighboring communities of Bingen and White Salmon overlook the Columbia River south of Mount Adams. Because Bingen is a sister city to Bingen, Germany, both Bingen and White Salmon have several buildings of Germanic design; one is the Glockenspiel Tower in White Salmon.

West on SR 14 is the Broughton Log Flume, which was the last operating log flume in the country. The 9-mile flume, which closed in 1987, floated lumber from Willard to Underwood, a drop of 1,000 feet.
