Tip: Walking through Work Zones
When you're hiking on Badger and come across trail work in progress, please remember it's like road work -- please wait until you are told to go forward. Remember, too, to stay on the trail, even in a work zone. The workers are prepared for you to walk on their work and sometimes even need it to pack it down. Thanks!
Learn about guided walks in the Finley Hills, McBee Grade, Yakima Bluffs and Amon Basin. See the Washington Native Plant Society or the Tapteal Greenway Association.
