Palouse to Cascades Trail - Easton — Tuesday, May. 9, 2023

I started at the Easton TH (Discovery Pass required)  and hiked west. I went about 7 miles round-trip. There are many interesting features on this hike. There are two very cool bridges over the Yakima River, a short tunnel to hike through, and good views up towards Hibox and Three Queens and across the freeway to the Silver Creek drainage. The first half mile or so of this hike isn’t that great, as you have to even walk on the road for a little ways to get through town. Once you’re through the town part, though, it becomes quite nice. We were out there a couple of hours and I only saw one other person  and he was riding a mountain bike. This hike is pretty well sheltered by trees from both wind and sun once you get through town. There was no snow on the trail where I hiked, but a little way farther west there is.
