Itinerary

Day 1: Town explorations, view points, fossil investigations

You’ve got a few fun places to stop along the way to your fall adventure. Stop in Ellensburg at a local brewpub and stroll through the town to see the old brick buildings and western motifs.

One Ellensburg home in particular is sure to be memorable—every inch of their yard is filled with artwork for the public to enjoy from the sideway.

Or, if you’d rather see the land surrounding the Columbia River, there’s a stop by the side of I-90 where you can climb to a fantastic overlook with views for miles. But if fossilized trees are more your thing, walk a 3-mile loop trail to see tree remnants encased in lava. You’ll get to see mineralized ginkgos, spruce, elm, walnut, and fir trees from another era. End your day with yummy food from a local restaurant.

Day 2: Desert hike or chill by the lakes or Palouse Falls

Day 3: Hike around basalt rock column or to rolling sand dunes, ending the day at a winery

Adventure made easy!

Marisa Santacroce

Adventure made easy! I had been wanting to visit eastern Washington for a while and recently booked a weekend there through AdventureTripr. From a tailored itinerary, detailed directions and information about trails and local hotspots, and accommodations, I didn’t have to think about anything but exploring! Simplicity at its best. The entire AdventureTripr team was prompt, professional, and knowledgeable. if you’re looking to explore new places but don’t know where to start.....let AdventureTripr guide you" (edited)

Booking my next trip ASAP

Jean-Luc Nahon

As easy as it gets. We had to do very little to plan for our trip. The staff was helpful and responsive. And the recommendations (both for accommodation and for activities) were spot on. It was a gorgeous location, wonderful food, beautiful landscapes. I’m booking my next trip ASAP.
