Umtanum Creek Canyon — Saturday, May. 18, 2013

Central Washington > Yakima

We arrived at 9 AM and hiked the trail with 70 oz waterpacks. The trail was in good shape except that it was overgrown in places and there were some dangerous branches hiding in the thinner cover in the trees. We saw 3 or 4 snakes that were likely rattlers based on the colors, but they weren't hanging around to be a problem. The area requires a NATIONAL PARK PASS not a Discover Pass as the trail description says and a $5 parking fee. I would recommend the hike to anyone looking for a quick stretch. We were done in just over 2 hours including stops.
