This easy hike parallels the Tieton river for 3.5 miles and features beautiful views of the Tieton valley and its namesake river. The Tieton valley is popular with rock climbers, so don’t be surprised if you see some of them on the adjacent rock formations. The trailhead is about 20 minutes from downtown Yakima and starts directly across from the Oak Creek Wildlife Center. We highly recommend stopping at Bron Yr Aur Brewing Co. for some “recovery” pizza and beer on your way back to town.
💡 IHY WISDOM: Washington Trails Association has additional about this trail and during the winter, head over to Oak Creek Wildlife Center to check out “the supplemental winter feeding of the Yakima elk herd – up to 1,200 animals, including 90 branched-antlered bulls.”
