I have wanted to hike the White Bluffs for a while, just haven't set aside the time to get there. So March 22nd my nephew and I headed down towards Mattawa to hike this trail. It is quiet the drive, but the scenery is very fascinating along the way. The White Bluffs area is totally different than any hike I have been on, it is a combination of sage brush, grass, and lots and lots of sand. Gorgeous view of the Columbia River and over onto the Hanford Nuclear Reservation. The trail is fairly easy to find, well marked roads, that lead you to the Wahluke National Wildlife Refuge area. After you leave the gravel road and hit the pavement again that leads to the boat launch area it becomes a little bit confusing on where the trail actually starts, and where to park. It's best to just act like you know what your doing and pull over into the first pull out area on the right and park. The trail starts from that first pull out area and heads up the short hills that get you abov...
Hiking is a way of life
