Overview

Summary

A handful of short to moderate length trails treat users to unobstructed views of the Columbia Basin. From atop Badger Mountain, the unique geology and agriculture of eastern Washington is on display. Friends of Badger Mountain, a local group, has preserved this landscape with health and wellness in mind. Enjoy two trailheads and eight miles of well manicured trails.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Badger Mountain Centennial Preserve offers a wonderful contrast to the fog the Walla Walla valley can experience in winter. If snow sports just don’t interest you, heading west in winter...

WHAT TO DO

Hiking

Five crushed rock based trails interconnect around the Badger Mountain Centennial Preserve. Trails vary from half a mile to just over three miles in length. Four of the trails are multi-use. The Canyon Trail is open to foot traffic only and is accessed via the Badger Mountain Trailhead next to Trailhead Park. Visit the Friends of Badger Mountain trail page for detailed maps, descriptions, and rules.

Mountain Biking

Four crushed rock based trails interconnect around Badger Mountain Centennial Preserve. These trails are meant for leisure riding to enjoy big views and nature, not for high speed downhill racing. Please respect the “No Skid” signs. Visit the Friends of Badger Mountain trail page for detailed maps, descriptions, and rules.
