We'd heard if it for years and finally made it out for an afternoon and loved what we found. As part of the William O Douglas trail foundation, it's part of the trails used by the Supreme Court justice to get to Mount Rainier. WOD had a polio "like" illness when he was young and overcame the leg weakness portion by hiking. Rather impressive! The trails here interweave and offshoot back and forth with a horse trail that runs most of the way up the hill, right down the middle. We took an easier trail that ended up being about 2 miles there and There is a small amount of hill climbing, but overall It was not so strenuous that a five-year-old couldn't do it - as our Five year old did it well! Trails are nicely marked, there are lots of native wildflowers and I different flora to look at, as well as a couple of old farm machines parked along the trail. They are very specific about staying on the trail, but there's plenty to keep you busy, including the beautiful views of the Valley and out into Naches. We're stoked to explore this place further and excited to have it here!

My experience with Sarge Hubbard Park has been one of a bimodal distribution. The first experience…read morewas about 25 years ago and consisted of playing at Sarge Hubbard Park followed by a decision to never go back given that it was not well kept up and any rougher area. Fast forward to the current time where are experienced recently was an entirely different one. Like many of the other parks in the area, this place has undergone a total transformation in the past decade or so and is now very nice and a place that we will be frequenting. At the entrance to the greenway path, lies Sarge Hubbard Park. The place that is large and rather impressive, with plenty of areas for both young kids and slightly older children. Notably, there are no swing sets here, so I'm told that's now commonplace in the area. There's a large field nearby as well as a number of pathways leading out to other play areas. Not a bad transition from a place where if you wouldn't go to walk their dog a decade ago. While we were there, there were probably 40 kids playing and plenty of seating for parents. A great spot if you're heading out into parasites or just need to get away for a little bit so the kids can run off some energy.

Heck, the breeze was perfect and sun out today, if I had thought about it, I'd have brought a kite, book or fishing pole for my solo walk around this very clean park. There is a pond, river access, nicely paved paths, ample parking, benches and trash bins galore. I also discovered they have fitness stations located throughout the park for those wanting to combine bike riding, jogging, and a total body workout. I chose to walk around and enjoy the smells and sights of a beautiful fall day with the beautiful leaves in a range of colors while listening to my audio book. I saw restroom facilities and covered picnic areas as well as an occasional drinking fountain. It's definitely worth the stop.

All in all, this is a quality spot for the sports they've got going on inside!

Access to this park is off of Resthave road just before you get to the exit for Selah. Take the exit, turn left and cross the freeway to go down into the park. The parking lot here has room for 50+ cars. There are a couple nice covered areas with picnics tables and a number of grills placed throughout the park. There's a lone bathroom at the east end of the park near the greenway path. The grassy area here is excellent for running around, having a picnic or just taking a stroll! A greenway auxiliary path runs into the park and provides access to the main pathway as well as an offshoot to Selah ridge where you can hike a section of the William O Douglas trail up the hill. A very nice park with access to the greenway, the river, Selah ridge and picnic areas - what's not to love!

Roza Recreation Site is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) recreation site in the Yakima River…read moreCanyon towards the southern end of the canyon. A sign for the site is clearly visible from Washington State Route 821 (also called Canyon Road) and the entry drive and parking lot inside the entrance are both paved. I purchased a day use permit (good on all BLM managed lands for the day) on site. The pay area was clearly marked and the instructions for how to pay and display your day use or overnight use permit were posted by the pay drop-box and easy to follow. I did a little walking around. A map of the site is posted that provides the lay of the land. There are spots allocated for camping, picnic tables area, and a boat ramp/waterfront area. There were some grassy/treed areas one could explore past the campsites, but I stayed in closer to the parking lot on my visit. The rocks in the Yakima River Canyon are gorgeous, and the basalt cliffs on the far side of the canyon from Roza are no exception. Beautiful location to just take in the beauty of nature. It was windy the day I stopped. Hedgy the Hedgehog, my travel companion of the day, and I sat at the picnic tables and decided it was too windy and she might blow away if she sat there while eating so we stayed in the car to eat. After eating we used the restrooms and departed to explore the canyon driving north on Washington State Route 821. Restrooms at this location are pit toilets that one cannot throw trash into. I was on my period, so this mattered. The restrooms at the other BLM managed lands I stopped at along Washington State Route 821 are also pit toilets. I figured this to be the case when I stopped here (my first BLM land of the day) so adjusted accordingly. No trash in the toilets when on your period means the feminine hygiene products one is using, be it pads and/or tampons, cannot be thrown in the toilets. I bring ziplock bags on my adventures just for this reason. Wrap the pad, tampons aren't my thing, and seal it in a ziplock bag and throw it in a trash can. I find ziplock bags do a good job of lessening the blood smell. Other bags work too. If you don't want to carry the hygiene product outside of the restroom with you there are rest areas along Interstate 90 (I-90) where disposal of pads and/or tampons is simple and straight forward. On this visit, in the afternoon on Monday the 29th of June 2020, the recreation site was not very busy and the parking lot not very full. One of the perks of adventuring on a non-holiday weekday if you can!
