Cowiche Canyon

In the last post we saw about the Ancient lakes trail in the east of Washington. This time let us branch out on the way and take another scenic super-fast highway. The route to drive on is this. As usual I-90 will be great and on I-90, east of the Skiing Central Summit, you will have a huge surface of ice. I am still to figure out if it is just a plain land or a frozen lake. So we have to get more to the east and then we have to go towards Yakima taking I-82 E. This 30 odd miles drive on I-82 is something really awesome.

And the trail is very different. You can go up the canyon and walk along the rim for a longer hike or just cross the 11 bridges on the lovely stream of the river flowing there. The upland overlook trail is quite good to take and have a seat relax with a nice view on top. It is just a fun walk if you do not climb the canyon. So I would suggest to take the tougher hiking route. We did the simple walking trail on the bridges. Some of the pics taken are here(Courtesy: Arun Kalaiselvan). In the next posts, let us go to the Pacific side of Washington.
