  The Renewable Energy Center: The wind and sun of Kittitas County are a tremendous natural resource for producing clean, renewable energy. Set high on a ridge, the Renewable Energy Center provides visitors with an up-close look at the facility’s 148 wind turbines, as well as 360 degree views of Mount Rainier, Mount Adams, Mount Hood and the Columbia River Basin.

  Take a tour, or explore the educational displays to learn more about wind and solar technology, as well as the area's unique natural history. Outdoor trails lead to a solar array, blade, turbine generator, gearbox and additional displays.

  Hours: The visitor center (Renewable Energy Center) is open April to October 31, 9 am to 5 pm. From April through November, self-guided tour packets for the outside exhibits are available via email or in the box near the front door. From December through March, the Wild Horse Wind Facility is closed to all public access. Recreational access with an Access Permit will resume April 1.
  Free Guided Tours: Weather permitting, free guided tours depart daily, from April through October 31, from the Renewable Energy Center at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. No reservation is needed for these tours. To schedule a separate group tour of Wild Horse, please call 509-964-7815. Join the 60 minute walking tour that explores the solar array, wind turbine blade, turbine generator and gearbox, and lets you look inside the base of an active wind turbine!
