With the wildly popular hiking trails on Badger Mountain (Canyon trail, Sagebrush trail, Badger Flats trail, Skyline trail, and the new Langdon trail), hundreds of thousands of people get out and hike every year and now, it looks like another organized hiking area is on its way.
You can read more about this in this article in the Tri-City Herald.
You can also watch some of the local media coverage from the TV stations like KEPR and KNDU.
