Yakima River Canyon: A Scenic Detour
Scenic Drive in Ellensburg, WA
Take the regular route or take the scenic route. If you're a fan of epic scenic views, I highly recommend you take the Yakima River Canyon road that starts in Ellensburg and leads you back to Hwy I-90 towards the city of Yakima.
You'll experience amazing views of the canyons that have been carved out by the Yakima River. There are a handful of turnouts and parks, where you can pull out and enjoy the view or stop for a picnic. About a quarter of the way through, you can stop by the popular Umtanum Creek Recreational Site and walk across the suspension bridge.
