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: Hike to see and play in sand dunes

Day 3: Hike in Ancient Lakes area or Explore a 200ft waterfall

Day 4: Hike around basalt rock column and end the day at a winery
