Yakima Skyline Trail

Yakima Skyline Trail

<< back to IHY Guide


If you’ve driven through downtown Yakima, you’ve probably realized our definition of “skyline” isn’t so much about the tall buildings as it is about the surrounding valleys, rivers, and shrub-steppe hills. The Yakima Skyline Trail is a great way to see exactly what we mean. On clear days you’ll be able to see Mt Adams and Mt Rainer, the Yakima River valley, and the small town of Selah just by turning around a few degrees.

💡 IHY WISDOM: Be aware that this is a steep hike with little to no shade along the way, so make sure you have water and sunscreen. Washington Trails Association has maps, trip reports and more information on this route.
