Washington Heartland's center for outdoor recreation
. . . your gateway to the mountains, desert and waterways of Central Washington State and the South Cascades
An extensive trail system affords hikers, skiers and snowshoers choices at every level. . . not to mention that Central Washington is one of the top birding areas in the US. Spring, summer, fall and winter, Yakima Outdoors will keep those feet moving!
Prefer to paddle? Our miles of slow and fast water are perfect for your canoe, tube, kayak or raft. Outfitters and guides are plentiful.
Bike touring? Try our scenic rides on flatland, rolling hills through wine country or more challenging climbs and descents. All on lightly-trafficked asphalt roads and bike paths. Knobby tread? The trails are world-class.
Oh, the weather? Central Washington boasts about 300 sunny days a year!
