This was a beautiful fall hike. This trail was a rails-to-trails project, and took many years to complete. Brilliant fall colors from the Sumac lined the trail. About a 3 mile walk each way it crosses Cowiche Creek in several places.
Here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure....
"Would you look at that!"
We saw a total of 3 rattlesnakes resting on the trail! So awesome! (don't worry I used my zoom, so I wasn't that close)
A beautiful fall day, perfect for a little hike with the hubby!
Directions:
From Ellensburg, drive east on Interstate 82 to exit 31A to get on westbound US 12. Take the second exit off US 12 --the exit is signed "N. 40th Ave. and Fruitvale Blvd." Drive under the freeway, across Fruitvale, and in 1.5 miles from US 12 turn right onto Summitview. Continue for 7.1 miles and turn right on Weikel Road (signs on Summitview indicate Cowiche Canyon turnoff). Drive 0.4 mile on Weikel Road, and turn right at the sign for Cowiche Canyon.
