Trip Report

Umtanum Creek Canyon — Saturday, Jun. 1, 2024

Central Washington > Yakima

Well I am about a month late in posting this report, but I want the Scouts in Troop 498-Renton, WA to get some credit for maintaining this trail again this year. We continued the work we started last year in the fall and removed additional fallen trees and overgrown vegetation. The first creek crossing is in need and deserving of a more substantial bridge, which I will likely be working with BLM/WSFW on planing. The vegetation has likely dried out significantly over the last month, so it's probably not as lush as it was. The Scouts really enjoy an overnight at the open field about 1.5 miles up the trail. There are a number of opportunities for excursions once camp is set. We may push further next year and clear the trail further.
