Umtanum Creek Canyon — Saturday, Feb. 11, 2012

Central Washington > Yakima
The trail head is clearly marked as a camping/picnic area and the bridge is difficult to miss. The trail was in good condition, though covered in packed snow/ice. We lost the trail at one point following a pair of tracks that took us in the wrong direction for about a mile, but we were able to backtrack and head off in the right direction. Ice on the trail made it difficult to traverse steeper areas, and resulted in some wet feet when we stepped on ice-covered puddles. A nice day hike if you're not interested in great vistas (you're in a canyon the whole time).
