Hike of the week

Grand Ridge View

Northrup Canyon

For many it's a three-day weekend. Why not get out of town? Northrup Canyon is an excellent winter choice. Located in the Grand Coulee, you will delight in the silvery sagebrush, golden grasses and scarlet red osier. It's also a winter oasis for some 200 bald eagles. Throw in a picturesque canyon and a neat old cabin and you have a great hike!
