Wild Horse Wind and Solar Facility on Whiskey Dick Mountain, Washington (© Jim Meyers)
【July 30 2015】There are 149 turbines on the southwest rise of Whiskey Dick Mountain in the arid steppes of central Washington State. The Wild Horse Wind and Solar Facility takes advantage of the region’s near-constant breezes to generate enough power to service 80,000 homes. Puget Sound Energy, which operates the facility, opens the wind farm for tours. And that’s not all there is to do and see on the mountain: Hiking is a popular choice, but be warned that the same wind that turns the blades of the turbines can make for a challenging trek.Explore breathtaking Gallery from the HuluTrip homepage over the past 5 years..
