A short, steep basalt ridge offering sweeping panoramas over the Columbia River, vineyards and the Tri‑Cities — excellent for wide landscapes, layered ridgelines, wildflower foregrounds in spring, and dramatic sunsets. Trailhead has a small parking area with no permit required; trails are exposed and unshaded so bring water. Best light at sunrise or sunset; weekdays avoid crowds. Clear weather yields long views; winter can offer crisp air and low-angle light.
