Plan Your Perfect Road Trip 99 Worth a Detour Four of the states scenic byways run to or through the city of Yakima. Located at the entrance to Washington Wine County this central Washington community offers great boutique wine tasting craft breweries dining and shopping. Great Day Hike Crossing the Yakima on a suspension bridge the day hike to Umtanum Creek Falls climbs high in a Douglas fir forest and descends into sagebrush and scrub grass desert canyons. Elk roam the upper woods and bighorn sheep prowl the steep canyon walls around the pounding waterfall. The creek falls about 40 feet into an oval-shaped basalt bowl. BALE BREAKER BREWING An 82-year love affair with hops and a passion for craft beer have lead to this. 1801 Birchfield Road Yakima www.balebreaker.com 509-424-4000 Recommended Stops YakimaValleyTourism The National Audubon Society recognizes Umtanum as an important birding area there are lots of viewing opportunities. Rattlesnakes are also common during late spring and in the summer stay alert so you can enjoy your visit. Wildlife viewing includes bighorn sheep white-tailed deer Rocky Mountain elk and coyotes. Golden eagles gracefully soar high above on the thermals that rise from the canyon floor. The basalt cliffs here with their clefts and crevices are home to the densest population of nesting raptors in the state of Washington. Roza Dam Built in 1939 Roza Dam diverts water to irrigate the otherwise arid desert in the lower Yakima Valley. Dont miss the fish ladder where salmon and endangered steelhead make their heroic upstream leaps on the long journey home to spawn. A reservoir at the Roza Recreation Area is used for boating swimming and is the last takeout point for floaters and anglers on the river. Selah Cliffs Natural Area Preserve Five miles northeast of Selah stretching along Selah Creek from the eastern edge of SR-821 and I-82 is the Selah Cliffs Natural Area. The preserve open to the public is home to a rare population of basalt daisy a threatened and dainty plant that only grows high up in cracks in the rock left by ancient lava in the canyons southern half. June is the best month to spy them blooming in the basalt columns. Binoculars are recommended to see the flower which exists nowhere else in the world. The byway officially ends as SR-821 rejoins the rushing traffic of I-82. Look for great views of Mount Rainier and Mount Adams as you exit the canyon near Selah.
