Trip Description | Whites Ridge is located in the Ahtanum State Forest outside of Union Gap. It provides views of Mount Adams and the Yakima Valley, with the trail going through forested areas and near creeks. I am expecting to see golden larch trees. Be prepared to do some mileage at a reasonable pace, although the elevation gain is moderate given the distance. |
