Umtanum Creek Canyon — Wednesday, Dec. 24, 2014

Central Washington > Yakima

Trail head was in good condition and easily accessed. The trail was in good condition and was pretty much as described. There were a lot of little offshoots, but it was basically impossible to get lost because you're in a canyon and following a creek--one way in and one way out. We did encounter the skeleton of what may have been a coyote--our children were quite impressed. We didn't make it all the way to the end of the trail. But the area was beautiful. Well worth the trip. There are some places where you need to cross the creek, so be prepared for that. We saw some deer up on the hill, but this time of year the wildlife sightings are understandably sparse. Good little hike. Good for kids and adults. Would recommend.
