> North Yakima Skyline trail to Roza Creek to Birdsong Tree
Weekend backpack with wind, drizzle, sun, amazing views and smells of spring wildflowers.
Drove Durr Road to North Yakima Skyline parking lot and kept going to end of road to No Vehicles Past This Point sign. Road is rough, deeply rutted, and very steep in places.
Parked and hiked down the Skyline Trail to the bottom. This trail section is steep in sections and trekking poles were a big help. Crossed railroad tracks and filtered water from Yakima River.
Continued south to Roza Creek and hiked up dirt road to Birdsong Tree. Lots of open space for camping but no clearly defined campsites. Filtered water from Roza - not the greatest access and creek is shallow with lots of brush to contend with.

I'm considering an overnight in late April this year, camping at Birdsong Tree and was concerned about fire damage from the 2023 wildfire along Roza Creek. Did you see any fire damage when you were there in April 2024? Thank you!

There is evidence of some fire damaged trees. Nothing that impacts hiking/camping though.
