LOOKING BACK
4 Native Culture
This land has been home to the Yakama
people since the beginning of time. There
are many ways here for you to connect
with Tribal culture and tradition.
5 Why Here?
This sage covered land was barely suited
for cattle ranching. Who thought locating
a community here was a good idea?
5 Just Add Water
With rich volcanic ash, sediment from the
Missoula floods and near constant
sunshine, an irrigation system was the
only missing ingredient.
6 Tracing the Valley’s History
A visit to local museums is a great way
to start your exploration of the Yakima
Valley.
8 Historic North Yakima District
Featuring boutique shops, wine tasting,
and restaurants, the town the railroad
moved in the mid-1800s is still thriving.
A sunny disposition
12 Downtown Yakima
Spend countless hours in downtown
Yakima enjoying shopping, art, dining,
craft beverages and live performances.
14 Yakima Convention Center
Combining 41,000 sq. ft. of flexible
conference and meeting space with 300
days of sunshine makes it an ideal venue.
16 Communities of the Valley
The communities that were born in the
Yakima Valley each have a history, culture
and personality as diverse as the people
who live, work and play in them.

Valley Reflections:
Yesterday and today
G
by Marcus Yearout
Growing up in the Yakima Valley of the 1950s
and 60s was a really special thing. Of course,
it wasn’t so obvious at the time, but with the
benefit of 60+ years of hindsight, it was a
truly magical time and place to be a kid.
My cousin Jon and I would ride our horses
and meet at the Wapato water tower that was
about halfway between our two houses. From
there we would head through the cottonwoods
along the Yakima River, across massive
irrigation canals, past fruit orchards and up to
the crest of Ahtanum Ridge where, chomping
on our PB&J sandwiches, we’d gaze down at
the huge metropolis of Yakima… or so it
seemed to a couple of 12-year olds from
tiny Wapato.
so what made the desert bloom?
As a kid, I just liked being in the place; on my
horse with my best friend. I didn’t think then
about the patchwork quilt of fruit orchards
and hop fields and the acres of mint and
asparagus, sweet corn and watermelon and
grapes that extended in the distance as far as
the eye could see. (Note that most of the
grapes growing back then were destined for
juices and jellies; the renowned wine industry
that’s here now had not quite dawned.)
Back then I didn’t wonder or even care about
how any of that was possible in a valley that
was surrounded by desert and sage covered
hills. I didn’t think about why Yakima was
built in such isolated, seemingly barren
country or why so many diverse cultures
decided to move here and call it home. But I’ve
thought plenty about it since.
The enduring spirit lives on today
The story of how the railroads and massive
irrigation projects shaped the Valley’s destiny
and turned this desert into one of the nation’s
most bountiful regions still fills me with
fascination. The original Native Yakama
people managed to thrive here since the
beginning of time and the hearty, resourceful
settlers who came later, scratched out a future
stoked by imagination that seems to have
defied any explainable logic.
Much of the character and spirit that built
these communities still exists today. So, it is
with both pride and unabashed prejudice that
I invite you to add the Yakima Valley to your
bucket list of “places to go” in the very near
future. To that end, I hope this guide will
provide plenty of ideas, inspiration and
motivation to start making your travel plans.

Wapato High School and still rides with his cousin Jon to
this day.

LOOKING BACK...
L
“Looking at the sun-drenched town of Yakima, you
might find it hard to believe this place is a desert.
The surrounding agricultural areas are renowned
for crisp apples and a whopping three-quarters of
all hops grown in the country.
Located on North Front Street, the original city hall
built around 1885 still exists but is “buried” behind
this facade that was added in the 1920s.
But it wasn’t always this way: 19th-century
pioneers faced an inhospitable sagebrush desert,
since tamed through a series of ingenious irrigation
canals using fresh mountain runoff, that brought
the fertile volcanic soil roaring to verdant life.”
Travel + Leisure Magazine
The Valley’s first people
Since time immemorial, the Confederated
Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation
have occupied the land that extends in all
directions from the lowlands around the
Columbia River to the Cascade Mountains
that includes the Yakima Valley.
The ancestral home of the Yakama Nation is
surrounded by sloping foothills, with wild
sagebrush and a mixture of wild flowers, that
lead to the pine trees and towering volcanic
peaks of Mount Adams and Mount Rainier.
For centuries, they fished, farmed and hunted
here, establishing ongoing commerce through
ancient trade routes, like Celilo Falls, long
before the Lewis & Clark expedition.
When visiting the Valley, come and share the
experience of their heritage and legacy at the

Yakama Nation Museum of the Cultural
Heritage Center. Designed to tell the story of
the Plateau people and their lands, the
Yakama Nation Museum is recognized as one
of the finest Native American Museums in the
United States.
Yakima City is established
The town of Yakima City started as a small
cattle rancher village in the 1860s just as the
Civil War was beginning to heat up. It was
situated along Ahtanum Creek near the
“gap” that leads to the lower valley.
In 1880 things changed forever when the
Northern Pacific (NP) railroad, for a variety of
reasons, decided to locate its depot four
miles north of town. In early 1885, plats were
filed for a new town called “North Yakima.”
If you build it, they will move
As an incentive to the business community of
Yakima City, NP offered to pay all expenses to
move buildings by horse-drawn skids and
rolling logs to the new location. This helped
establish the community as the hub of
commerce.
The 1910 depot—the third iteration—still
stands and is surrounded by other buildings
that were constructed in that period in the
“Old Town” district along Front Street.
New construction in North Yakima included
an Opera House and while the building still
stands to this day, the “fat lady” belted out
her last aria long ago and the place is now
home to a floral and gift shop. Several other
historic buildings located here house a variety
of retail shops, restaurants and tasting rooms.

The original Yakima City, now known as Union
Gap, continued to grow and is still a vibrant
and vital part of the local story.
Transforming the desert
So now we’ve got a relocated town near a
train depot in the desert and a small village
on the banks of the Ahtanum and Yakima
Rivers suited only to cattle ranching.
So how did the Yakima Valley become one of
the nation’s richest agricultural regions? First,
the Valley was blessed with fertile soil—
partially the result of ancient volcanic
eruptions by Mount Rainier, Mount Adams
and Mount St. Helens—so the foundation
was laid millions of years ago.
Then around 16,000 years ago, repeated
glacial floods dumped a layer of silt over
everything. With this rich combination of
volcanic ash and glacial silt in place… all that
was needed was water.
Early farmers that were able to irrigate using
water from the surrounding creeks and rivers
were getting great results and supplying fresh
fruit and vegetables for the growing
community, but not nearly enough to export
and build an economic base.
Irrigation projects create our bounty
In order to expand the growing acreage and
the agricultural segment of the economy,
finding a reliable source of water and
expanding the irrigation systems quickly
became a priority. While some early irrigation
projects were undertaken by (and are still
managed by) the Yakama Nation, it should
come as little surprise that a lot of this effort
was spurred by the Northern Pacific Railway.
They saw potential in shipping agricultural
products but also, as a major landowner,
realized they could sell irrigated land for $4050 per acre compared to $4 for dry land.
NP could not afford the massive project so,
along with others, they pushed the Federal
Government to pass the Federal Reclamation
Act of 1902 to provide money that got the job
moving in a big way.
Harnessing water flowing from the Cascade
Mountains and into the Yakima River and
building dams to create storage reservoirs,
was a massive public works project that
employed thousands. As the irrigation projects
expanded, more farmland was created.
Orchards that just 40-50 years ago stopped
near the base of the sage-covered ridges, now
rise nearly to the top of the hillsides.

2/4/15 5:14 PM
Agri-Cultural diversity
With more orchards came more opportunity and a need for farmers
and a labor force to plant, nurture and harvest the crops. This led
to the cultural diversity of our communities that we enjoy. Scottish,
German, Scandinavian, Filipino and Japanese farmers moved here and
started farms; some roadside produce stands are still owned and
operated by third- or fourth-generation family members.
Migrant labor from the Dust Bowl came for the work during the
Great Depression. Our rich Latino culture, (which today includes
several business and civic leaders in communities up and down the
Valley), was initially lured here by the opportunities provided by our
agriculture industry.
Time to get out and explore
You can experience some of our living heritage by visiting North
Yakima’s “Historic District” and driving to Union Gap (the original
Yakima City) on 1st Street south to get a sense of the scope of the city
relocation project. Imagine entire buildings being pulled along this
route on skids by teams of horses and mules. If you want to dig deeper
into the Valley’s history, a stop at any number of local museums will
provide a basis for more exploration. Probably the best first stop for
the “survey course” is the Yakima Valley Museum. In Union Gap, don’t
pass by the Central Washington Agricultural Museum. It’s fun to try
and figure out what tasks were performed by many of the ingenious
and intricate farm implements you’ll see there.
YAKIMA VALLEY MUSEUM

Built on a site strategically intended to disrupt a traditional Yakama
trade route and gathering spot, a visit to Fort Simcoe State Park
makes it easy to visualize life there in the 1850s. From Simcoe, head
into Toppenish to the Yakama Nation’s fine cultural heritage museum
where incidentally, you can spend the night camping in a teepee with
a view of Mount Adams if the mood strikes you.
Also in downtown Toppenish, you can visit the Northern Pacific
Railway Museum and trace roots of the Valley’s hop industry across
the street at the American Hop Museum.
Each year, on the first Saturday in June the Toppenish Mural Society
gets a group of artists together to complete a mural in one day.
The community now features 76 historically accurate murals. Visit
www.visittoppenish.com to download a mural walking tour map.
Yakima Valley Trolley
One of the best ways to experience today through yesterday’s eyes, is
to hop aboard the Yakima Valley Trolley. Operated on the tracks of the
former Yakima Valley Transportation Company in Yakima, the trolley
line is listed on the National Register of Historic Places because it is
the last authentic, all-original, turn-of-the-century interurban electric
railroad in the United States. Call 509-249-5962 or visit their website
at www.yakimavalleytrolleys.org for fares and schedule information.

City of UNION GAP
F
Founded more than a century ago, Union Gap
is an old city with a contemporary attitude.
Nestled in the “gap” where two mountain
heads meet, the community has retained the
best elements of its history and layered them
with modern conveniences and attractions
like shops, restaurants, museum, parks,
and festivals.
Yakima Valley’s only indoor shopping mall is located in Union Gap, at
the north end of town on Valley Mall Boulevard. Stretching more than
746,000 square feet, Valley Mall is home to more than 90 specialty
stores, merchants and restaurants, and anchored by popular department
stores such as Macy’s, Sears and Kohl’s. Valley Mall is constantly adding
new national stores with the brands you prefer. Most recently Cabela’s,
World’s Foremost Outfitter opened in Union Gap drawing outdoorsmen
from all over the Northwest.
One of Union Gap’s most distinctive and entertaining attractions is the
Central Washington Agricultural Museum, located in the
sprawling Fullbright Park at the south end of town. The museum (free
admission) is a wonderland of farm history and includes a room with
more than 3,000 antique hand tools, steam engines, a working saw mill
and multiple generations of tractors, harvesters and other farm
machines spread over 15 acres.
Fullbright Park and the Ahtanum Youth Park are popular
destinations unto themselves. Fullbright Park is the perfect location for
family picnics, dog owners and just to enjoy a sunny day in Union Gap.
There’s a large playground for kids, a dog area where pooches can fetch
and roam, a remote control airplane area, a trailhead to the Ahtanum
Ridge Trail and more. Ahtanum Youth Park is seventy-four acres of
beautiful trees and grassy areas, and includes two rental buildings,
numerous picnic areas and shelters.
Fun annual festivals allow residents and visitors to dip their toes in
Union Gap’s rich history. Old Town Days takes place in June with a
parade, Civil War Reenactment, children’s activities and more while
the 34th Annual Pioneer Power Show & Swap Meet is held in
August. In December, the city holds the popular Union Gap Lighted
Holiday Parade and Celebration. Union Gap’s Ahtanum Youth Park
is also home to some of the largest youth soccer tournaments in the

vineyards and orchards, this agricultural area offers a peaceful sojourn from the rush and

City of TOPPENISH
I
If you have a passion for history, Native
American culture, a taste for fresh fruits
and vegetables, or an appreciation for
local art, then Toppenish is your kind
of town.
Located entirely within the boundaries of the Yakama Nation, the small
city of 9,000 is adorned with more than 76 historically accurate
murals. Splashed across buildings throughout town, the larger-thanlife murals lead visitors through a vibrant visual history of Toppenish.
Take in the sights by horse-drawn covered wagon or stroll on foot to
view scenes of Native American life and culture, Wild West
adventures and early-American ingenuity. In addition to its famous
murals, Toppenish is home to three engaging museums. The American
Hop Museum chronicles the history of the hop industry, and the
Northern Pacific Railway Museum, housed in a 1911 depot, takes
visitors on a journey back to the days of steam-driven locomotives.
The Yakama Nation Cultural Center is filled with exhibits that
celebrate the region’s first residents. In addition, the museum complex
houses a restaurant and a spacious gift shop that sells handcrafted
accessories, Native American jewelry and distinctive souvenirs.
Toppenish was named one of the 20 best places to live in the West by
American Cowboy magazine, and the town loves to celebrate its
unique qualities and attractions with popular events and festivals
throughout the year.
The thrilling Toppenish Pow Wow and Rodeo takes place over
Independence Day weekend and culminates with a Wild West parade
on July 4th, and it seems that something is always going on at the
Northern Pacific Railway Museum.
Situated in the heart of wine country, Toppenish is within miles of
award-winning wineries, lush vineyards and friendly farm stands. Tour
wine country and sample fresh produce one day, then play 18-holes of
golf at the Mt. Adams Golf Course & Country Club the next. By
night, cash in on your luck at Legends Casino.
Toppenish is a significant birding area and nature enthusiasts are
invited to wander the Toppenish National Wildlife Refuge, where
lush wetlands attract thousands of waterfowl. Just 30 minutes away is
Fort Simcoe, a 200-acre interpretive park that offers a glimpse into
mid-19th century army life and local Native American culture.

City of
Sunnyside

Visit Sunnyside and enjoy an
unparalleled combination of
sunshine, bountiful harvest,
outdoor recreation, fine
wines and microbrews.
Surrounded by wine country and warmed by 300 days of sunshine every
year, Sunnyside is a small agricultural and culturally diverse community.
It is home to acres of parks, family-owned farms and wineries, Black
Rock Creek’s 18-hole golf course, and numerous events and
attractions that welcome thousands of visitors each year.
At heart, Sunnyside is a farming community, and proud to share the
fruits—and vegetables—of its labors. Asparagus, hops, corn, peppers,
cherries, peaches, apples, mint, wheat and grapes all thrive in
Sunnyside’s fertile soil and on its trees and vines. Spring through fall,
visitors are invited to buy or pick fresh produce to enjoy in the Valley or
transport home as a delicious reminder of their travels.
Sunnyside boasts two charming wineries of its own and is encircled by
many more. At Steppe Cellars on Chaffee Road, visitors can taste an
intriguing Sémillon, Syrah or Gewürztraminer, then enjoy a picnic in the
winery’s lovely cherry orchard. Tucker Cellars on Ray Road produces
reds, whites and rosés, as well as gourmet popcorn and spicy pickled
beans, asparagus and carrots. Whether you are in search of a fun
weekend getaway or an extended stay here in the center of
Washington’s Wine Country, they have several hotels, a Bed & Breakfast
and an RV park to accommodate your needs.
Beer aficionados will feel at home too at Snipes Mountain Brewery
& Restaurant, a lodge-like eatery that serves hand-crafted ales from
pilsners to porters alongside steak, seafood and American cuisine for
lunch and dinner seven days a week. Be sure to sample the hometown
favorite Sunnyside Pale Ale, a four-time award winner in the Best
Bitter category at the World Beer Cup and North American Brewers
Festivals.
If you enjoy authentic Mexican food, plan to attend the Cinco de
Mayo Festival. It draws a large crowd of locals and visitors to enjoy a
variety of attractions, including live entertainment, street vendors,
carnival, parade and charros.
The Lighted Farm Implement Parade, the oldest lighted farm implement
parade in the nation, pays tribute to Sunnyside’s agricultural heritage…
past, present and future. Sunnyside is proud of its location in the
heartland of the Northwest’s most diversified agricultural region.

yakima valley attractions
Central Washington State Fair
W
When you visit the Yakima Valley, there are a few things you expect to find. Award-winning
wines, for instance, and farm-fresh fruits and vegetables. Exhilarating recreational
opportunities and museums devoted to the region’s cultural influences. But it’s what you
might not expect that makes the Yakima Valley such a surprisingly satisfying destination.
In a nutshell, we just don’t take ourselves too seriously. We’re proud of
what we produce, but we don’t let it go to our heads. In fact, we’re
just as excited about some of our more curious attractions—like the
dinosaur statues in Granger or the Teapot Dome in Zillah—as we
are of our spectacular wineries and great farms. The Yakima Valley
invites visitors to dip their toes into a little nostalgia, a little Americana
and a whole lot of fun.
The Central Washington State Fair
There’s nothing more American than a fair. Nowhere else can you fill
up on fried foods, great games, live music and exciting rides. Here in
the Yakima Valley, we have a pretty darn good one that takes place in
late September at State Fair Park, on Fair Avenue just off I-82.
The State’s official fair since the late 1890s, the Central Washington
State Fair has retained all of the charm of those early expositions.
Many of its participants and exhibitors live, farm and raise their
animals right here in the Yakima Valley. It is one of the best annual
displays of agriculture anywhere in the state.
The Dinosaurs of Granger
The tiny town of Granger has a gigantic theme: “Where the dinosaurs
roam.” The slogan was reportedly inspired by the discovery in 1958 of
mastodon bones at a mine once owned by the Granger Clay Co. (Never
mind that mastodons are not technically dinosaurs.)
The town is dotted with statues of dinosaurs—many constructed
during the family fun “Dino-in-a-Day” events held each year—making
this an extremely delightful detour when traveling on SR-22.
The Murals of Toppenish
This historic community in the Yakima Valley has an Old West feel,
Native American traditions and an easily apparent artistic streak that
quite literally had local artists climbing the walls. “The City of Murals”
boasts 75 life-size paintings that depict farming, aviation, railroading,
rodeos and numerous other historical landscapes.
Wander through town on your own or enjoy the murals from a mulepowered wagon tour. Placards posted near each scene offer historical

The Teapot Dome of Zillah
The Teapot Dome was built in 1922, when a bribery scandal over
Wyoming oil fields rocked President Warren G. Harding’s
administration. It used to be a service station, and is now one of those
quintessential roadside attractions that you don’t really have to “get,”
but you definitely have to photograph. The newly renovated teapot is
now serving as Zillah’s visitor center in the center of town.
The Trolleys of Downtown Yakima
It’ll take you more than half an hour to travel two blocks and back,
but your conductor will know more about trolley cars and Yakima’s
history than anyone else you’ll meet during your stay. The ride is a
glimpse into the past, but the refurbished streetcars feature ingenious
seats that ensure you’re always facing forward.
Historic Capitol Theatre
Located in downtown Yakima, the historic Capitol Theatre serves as
one of Yakima’s performing arts facilities. The completely refurbished
Vaudeville theatre seats 1,500 people, and is a true testament to the
community’s dedication to its past and the arts.

HOME GROWN IN THE
yakima VALLEY
W
When one thinks about the term “home grown”
in the Yakima Valley, agriculture comes instantly
to mind. And indeed, we are the home to one of
the most bountiful fruit and vegetable regions in
the nation.
Our wine grapes are fast becoming the stuff of
legend. Not to be outdone, the Yakima Valley
grows nearly 80% of the hops used by breweries
throughout the United States.
Combine what we grow here with what we
manufacture—from wines, beers, ciders, distilled
liquors and juices, to candies, art, and even a
quality line of skin care products—you get the
idea that in addition to agriculture, this fertile
land also grows plenty of innovative artisans.

farm fresh fun!
More than 40 commercial crops are grown in
the Yakima Valley, so farm-fresh produce is
within reach nearly year-round—from
asparagus in April to apples and potatoes in
November. Some summer months are
particularly fruitful, like July and August,
which tempts with just-picked apricots, green
beans, blueberries, corn, nectarines and
squash.
Nowhere else in the state can you feast on
food so close to where it was grown. You
might say that in the Valley, the source of
your next meal is just a stone-fruit’s throw
away. A trip to a family-owned local farm
beats a visit to the grocery store any day.
If you only have eyes for organic, look no
further than the Valley. You’ll find many
organic producers at weekly and weekend
farmers markets in Ellensburg, Goldendale,
Prosser, Selah, Sunnyside and Yakima.
Visit one of these seasonal open-air bazaars
and you’ll have a unique opportunity to meet
the friendly farmers who grow your food. Not
only will they greet you warmly and ply you
with samples, they’ll happily share cooking
tips and introduce you to new varieties of
fruits and vegetables.
T
The bountiful Yakima Valley is a sunny
region rich with orchards, farms and
vineyards. It’s never been easier to eat local.
30
Even in the winter months, when fields are
quiet, you can savor the Valley’s bounty at
restaurants and bistros who specialize in
locally sourced ingredients.
The Yakima Valley is one of those rare
destinations where “local flavor” can be
experienced quite literally.

W
“Washington's Yakima Valley, the state’s
oldest and largest wine region, has all the
romantic trappings of Napa, but with a little
less fuss and without the tour buses, traffic
jams, and astronomical tasting fees that
come with Napa’s popularity.
There are 100 wineries in the 70-mile-long
Yakima Valley; most are family-run
boutique producers that don’t distribute out
of state, so if you want to taste them, you
have to head to the source.”
Conde’ Nast Traveler, 2014
by Sean Sullivan
The Yakima Valley holds a special place in Washington wine’s past,
present, and future. Once you visit, it will hold a special place in your
heart too.
An agrarian center that has been farmed for more than 150 years, the
Yakima Valley has a long history with viticulture. The earliest grape vines
were planted in the Valley in 1868. While those vines are long gone,
numerous old vine plantings still exist.
On Snipes Mountain, thick, gnarled vines planted in 1917 are still
producing commercial grapes—the oldest known wine grape vines in
the state. Other old vine plantings from the 1950s, ‘60s, and ‘70s are
sprinkled throughout the Valley.
remains the workhorse of the Washington wine industry. As a grape
growing region, the Yakima Valley produces more than one third of all
the wine grapes grown in Washington. As a wine touring region,
nearly 100 wineries and tasting rooms call the Valley home.
While wineries are spread throughout the Valley, many are centered
around the towns and areas of Yakima, Zillah, Red Mountain, and
Prosser. In Yakima, you can walk around downtown’s historic buildings
while stopping in tasting rooms along the way.
These viticultural elder statesmen are known to produce some of the
state’s most sought after wines and are a testament to the Valley’s long
grape growing history.
To the southeast, Zillah is brimming with wineries and vineyards and
is known for its bucolic charm. Prosser is home to numerous wineries,
each of which has their own unique appeal. Red Mountain, near
Benton City, meanwhile has long been known for growing some of
Washington’s best wine grapes but the area is also increasingly a
wine touring destination.
The Yakima Valley also holds the distinction of becoming Washington’s
first federally approved grape growing region in 1983, the second in
the nation after Napa Valley. Since that time, the Valley has been and
Diversity is the calling card of the Yakima Valley, which produces over
30 different wine grape varieties. The region also has four different
subappellations—a term for a federally approved wine growing

region that can be put on a wine label. These are from north to south
Naches Heights, the Rattlesnake Hills, Snipes Mountain, Red Mountain,
and nearby is Horse Haven Hills, with areas that range from quite cool
to blazing hot.
With three hundred days of sunshine a year, the Yakima Valley is a
year-round destination. Still, it’s hard to resist the Valley on event
weekends. Red Wine & Chocolate takes place on Presidents Day
weekend. Spring Barrel Tasting—when winemakers show off their
latest wines in barrel—takes place in April. Catch the Crush, a
celebration of the fall harvest, takes place in October. Finally,
Thanksgiving in Wine Country closes out the year each November.
No matter when you go to the Yakima Valley or what you do while
you’re there, it’s impossible to resist the Valley’s charm. It’s been that
way for over 150 years and it seems guaranteed to be that way for
150 more.

Spirits &
hops trail
T
There are few places in
America where a person can
taste the actual ingredients and
compare them to the results of
the spirits and beer making
processes. Tasting at the source
is a unique experience that the
Yakima Valley’s breweries,
cideries and distilleries provide
visitors. The ingredients are
typically grown right outside
the production room door,
bringing a special ambiance to
the flavor and intricate details
of the craft beverages.
Visit www.spiritsandhopstrail.com

by Sean Sullivan
Yakima Valley is not only fruit and wine country, it is also the center of
U.S. hop production. The Yakima Valley grows an astonishing 78% of
all of the hops produced in the United States. These hops aren’t just
critical to beer production here in the U.S. Two thirds of the Valley’s
hops are exported to countries around the globe.
Besides hops, the excellent growing conditions in the Yakima Valley
also yield fruits that produce quality ciders and distilled beverages. If
you get "wined out," be sure to add a visit to one of our popular
cideries or distilleries while you’re in the area.
There are more than 30 different hop varieties grown in the Yakima
Valley where the long, warm summer days provide a perfect climate.
Each variety has a distinct aroma, flavor, and level of bitterness. Hops
have a multifunctional role in beer. They provide aromatics and also
balance the sweetness of malt with hops’ natural bitterness.
There are many ways to explore Yakima Valley hops. The American
Hop Museum in Toppenish (www.americanhopmuseum.org) is a good
place to start. This is the country’s only museum dedicated to the
history of hops and is open May through September. In addition
to numerous breweries using local hops, there are also distilleries
and cideries located throughout the Yakima Valley. Not to be missed,
downtown Yakima hosts an Annual Fresh Hop Ale Festival
(www.freshhopalefestival.com) the first Saturday in October.
The requirement for the event is that Yakima Valley hops used in
the brews must travel from the vine to the brewing vat in less than
24 hours. It’s a hopping good time!

At the 90 year old Blue Barn Farm, the
process, the pouring, ladling, flavor mixing
and packaging, is all done by hand, and
the results are worth it. Their signature
Chevre is very creamy and mild favored.
Many tasters comment that the texture is
like cream cheese. Their original is lightly
salted with sea salt. We want to make sure that
the flavor is not overpowered by the salting. It is very
mild which makes it very versatile.

Those who wish to blend their passion for cycling with the bounty of
the Valley can take a ride through orchards and vineyards. The lower
Yakima Valley features many wineries that can be toured by bicycle as
well as vehicle.
Exploring the Yakima Greenway
The Yakima Greenway is comprised of 3,600 acres of lush vegetation
and a 10-mile pathway that follows the Yakima River and attracts
walkers, bicyclists, skaters, runners, picnickers and families to its parks,
shady nooks, lakes and playgrounds. The natural greenbelt includes
three parks, two fishing lakes, two rivers and four river access landings.
Fishing, Hiking and Horseback Riding
There are numerous trailheads throughout the Yakima Valley for hikers
and equestrians of all skill levels, as well as access to fishing, hunting
and exploring the high lakes, mountain meadows and streams.
Swimming, boating, fishing and horseback riding are available at
Bumping Lake (SR 410) and Rimrock Lake (Hwy 12).
The Yakima River Canyon is a classic western trout stream where fly
fishing has become increasingly popular in recent years. The ripples
and pools provide great places for prize rainbows to hide and feed.
Prime times for fishing are September-November and in the spring,
when flows are highly variable and a wide variety of insect hatches
provide excellent angling.
Yakima Valley Outdoor Adventure
In the Yakima Valley, weather and topography team up to create the
perfect conditions for outdoor adventure. Weather in the Valley is
moderate during the spring and fall, crisp and cold in the winter, and
hot and dry in the summer. No matter what the season, there’s a good
chance the sun will be shining.
Spectacular mountain passes, deep blue lakes, rushing rivers and pretty
meadows provide a wealth of exhilarating recreational options. For the
adventurous, there is skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, rock
climbing and river rafting, alongside the more serene pursuits of
horseback riding, hiking and golfing.
Bicycling
Crave spectacular views or challenging climbs? Yakima and the Valley
have much to offer cycling enthusiasts. Elite riders will enjoy the grades
west of Yakima from Eschbach Park to Naches Heights and Lake Wenas.
If you’re looking for a less strenuous, but no less breathtaking trip,
venture to the Yakima River Canyon, where one day each May, traffic is
Fishermen must release all trout on this river and are restricted to
artificial flies or lures with a barbless hook. There are many local
outfitters who can provide guided outings on the river and help to
ensure that your first experience on the fantastic Yakima River is a
memorable one.
Golfing in an Apple Orchard?
Nestled in an orchard in west Yakima, Apple Tree Resort is easily the
region’s finest golfing destination. Carved from the beautiful rolling
terrain of 100-year old orchards, the course features the world-famous
apple island green, named “One of the 9 Best Island Golf Holes in the
World” by Back Nine Network. The rest of the championship track plays
over 6,900 yards and offers golfers of all skill levels an enjoyable
experience. Whether golfing or not, you can also enjoy a mouthwatering meal with spectacular course views at the Apple Tree Grill,
or schedule a tour of the Apple Tree Resort Community, featuring
affordable and custom family homes. (See ad on page 51)

Mountain recreation for all seasons
Just 40 minutes from Yakima are two
spectacular mountain passes: White Pass and
Chinook Pass. Both provide beautiful scenic
drives, access to the Pacific Crest Trail, and
numerous opportunities for hiking, fishing,
mountain-biking and nature photography.
White Pass Ski Area © Matthew Poppoff
Public golfing is also available at River Ridge
Golf Course in Selah, Suntides Golf Course in
Gleed; Westwood and Fisher in Yakima, and
Mount Adams Country Club in Toppenish.
Recreation on the Yakima River and
Yakima River Canyon
During the summer months, there isn’t a
more relaxing way to soak up the beauty of
the Valley than a gentle, 11-mile float down
the Yakima River. Motorized watercraft are
prohibited on the river, except between the
Roza Recreational Site and Roza Dam,
which controls irrigation for 72,000 irrigated
acres downstream.
Rill Adventures can outfit you with rafting,
rowing and fishing gear, as well as picnic
lunches, ice chests and dry bags. The
company also offers kayaking lessons, shuttle
service and full-moon floats June through
August.
A drive down the Yakima Canyon Road (SR
821), which connects I-90 and I-82, is a
breathtaking journey dotted with wildlife.
Along this designated scenic route you’ll find
plenty to pass the time, including fishing,
easy river rafting and camping.
50
Follow the meandering river as it sometimes
slices between basalt cliffs formed by
centuries-old upheavals. It’s thought that the
Yakima River predates those stony ramparts,
once flowing across a relatively flat landscape. As rock ridges rose, river erosion
equaled the uplift, cutting a narrow gorge.
As you drift, drive or bicycle by, you can see
the basalt layers in valley walls that once
formed part of one of the largest lava fields
in the world, said to have covered more than
200,000 square miles in Washington, Oregon
and Idaho.
The canyon attracts bald eagles, especially in
winter, as well as 21 raptor species and birds
of every variety, which flock to the numerous
mini-climates and vegetation types found
here. You’re also likely to spot river otters,
coyotes, cougars, bears and deer.
Rock Climbing
The Yakima Valley is home to the Tieton River
area, which is accessible from White Pass
(Hwy 12) and offers excellent traditional and
sport climbing for all skill levels. The volcanic
rock was shaped by lava flows that created
columns of Andesite, a form of basalt that is
unique to the region.
The White Pass Ski Area has excellent Alpine
and Nordic facilities and even offers a
number of summer activities at the White
Pass Village Inn, including bird watching,
fishing and swimming. Alpine skiing and
snowboard enthusiasts will revel in the newly
expanded ski area and additional 767 acres
of terrain as well as two more quad chair lifts
and a 3,000 square-foot midmountain lodge.
Nearby Rimrock Lake has been a popular
camping, waterskiing, swimming and fishing
destination for generations.
White-Water Rafting
on the Tieton River
Every September, Pacific Northwest whitewater enthusiasts gear up for one of the
State’s most invigorating rafting trips.
The Yakima Valley Flip Flop is an annual
event that takes advantage of the
manipulation of the Tieton River for irrigation.
A torrent of water is released from Rimrock
Lake down the Tieton River and into the
Naches River, more than doubling the river’s
normal flow to 2,500 cubic feet and creating
a fast-paced intermediate rafting run.
Osprey Rafting Co. provides white water
trips complete with lunch or dinner. Runs fill
up quickly, so call early for reservations.
