White Bluffs - North — Tuesday, May. 3, 2011

Central Washington > Tri-Cities
looking north towards the dune area
It was a beautiful day for this hike in an environment that treated me with various kinds of terrain. From the trailhead I could easily spot the trail going up. And when I got moving I was surprised by the fantastic views of the bluffs. Once at cruising altitude I followed the trail unto the dune area. There I started roaming and most of all started enjoying this wonderful area. Coming to the east side of the dunes I saw a coyote taking off to ground with more shrub cover. Getting back to the river side of the dunes I took my moments to enjoy the views. Not just this part of the river, but also the Hanford Site, and the Columbia River. So different from the river views in my own country (the views being nice there as well, but different). I strolled back and enjoyed this hike until the last moment.
