Yakima Skyline Trail — Sunday, Aug. 24, 2025

Central Washington > Yakima
Heading up the valley and the last mile.

Parked at the horse trailer parking lot 0.6 miles along Buffalo Road and hiked 1.7 miles along the dirt road until heading up the valley trail for 1.0 miles to reach the skyline trail. Dry, dusty and exposed, typical of a semi-arid shrub-steppe (desert-ish) hike.

The last mile up the valley has enough shrubs and pokey plants that pants are a nice have.

Descending from the skyline ridge, before the valley.
