Kamiak Butte

Named after Chief Kamiakin of the Yakama tribe, the Kamiak Butte has been called a “Natural National Landmark.” The park consists of timberland on the northern slope of the butte, and is an “island” of Precambrian quartzite about 1,000 feet about the surrounding fields. Due to the area’s wheat farming, the butte’s ecological diversity increased, and 170 plant species, 130 bird species, and 30 mammal species have been observed in the park. The main attraction of the park is the 3.5 mile Pine Ridge Trail, which affords spectacular views of the ridge. Bring sneakers or comfortable walking shoes for the hike. Picnic lunches can be purchased at Taco del Mar or Subway on the way to the butte. There is no additional fee for this trip.
