Trip Report

Umtanum Creek Canyon — Sunday, Sep. 13, 2015

Central Washington > Yakima
Rattlesnakes are out and difficult to spot due to overgrown trails. I passed people coming back who warned me they'd seen one a mile and a half ahead. I was on the lookout after that and turned around shortly after. I should have turned around right away, as I saw one on my way back. Even though I was looking for them I was almost on top of it before I saw it. Seems like a decent trail, but I'll wait till they're hibernating before going back.
Did you find this trip report helpful?

Yeah it is hard to spot them until the last second. They blend in really well. Best time to hike that area is in April/May for the flowers and October/November for fall colors.
