I can’t think of a better time to get outdoors and enjoy hiking one of the many trails around the Columbia Basin!

Silky Lupine (Lupinus sericeus) is blooming! This picture is from a recent hike

With the weather not too hot, not too cool, you can take along a jacket and shed it if you get warm.  Add to that the marvelous colors of the wildflowers blooming on the trailside and trails that are in excellent shape (including recent improvements on Badger Mountain), and you have a can’t miss combination for outdoor enjoyment.

We now have nearly 30 hikes listed in and around the Tri-Cities for you to enjoy, complete with pictures, videos, GPS tracings, Maps and Directions to the trailheads and new trail suitability icons. Every hike also has descriptions with mileage, difficulty, elevation change and more.
