The idea, again was to visit some more parks for the 146 Parks project. Weather intervened and my plans had to change a bit, but a good trip was had nonetheless.
I started the day at a cute little coffee shop called The Early Bird in downtown Ellensburg.
From Ellensburg, I headed northeast toward Sun Lakes-Dry Falls and Steamboat Rock State Parks.
A fair amount of Sun Lakes-Dry Falls State Park was seasonally closed, so I decided to save this for another time.
I started a more serious hike in Steamboat Rock State Park a couple hours later, but heavy rains set in before I could accomplish my hiking goal for the day. I’ll share one highlight photo from the park and otherwise save this park for another day.
The weather opened up quite a bit, so I did manage to get in a previously-unplanned visit to Bridgeport State Park.
And then I wrapped up the day at the beautiful mountaintop resort at Sun Mountain Lodge.
On my way home the next day, I got in a good hike at Peshastin Pinnacles State Park.
