Candy Mountain Trail, Badger Mountain - Canyon Trail, Badger Mountain - Skyline Trail & Badger Mountain - Sagebrush Trail — Saturday, Oct. 27, 2018

Central Washington > Tri-Cities

I was over in the Tri-Cities visiting family this weekend.  I always love hitting up Badger and Candy Mountains when I am over there.  The weather was forecast was for cool, clear conditions so I hooked up with a local Nomad Runners of Eastern WA runner Brandon for a sunrise run of both mountains.

On the way out we took the Sagebrush trail to the Skyline trail to the far end of Badger then ran the road over to Candy.  Apparently, there is a trail planned to connect the two trail systems but it has not been built yet.  We ran to the top of Candy then down the back, not quite to the culvert, to get some extra elevation.  Once back on Badger we followed the Skyline trail again but descended via the Canyon trail where we ran into lots of little trick-or-treaters coming up the mountain.

Great day out!
