Wildflower Walk: Wallula Gap and Two Sisters

  • wallula state park (map)

The sign up period for this trip is now ended. PLEASE NOTE - THE LISTING WITH NWPB HAS THE WRONG TIMES. THESE ARE THE CORRECT TIMES. Meet at 9:30 a.m. at the Wallula Unit of the Fish and Wildlife Service to join Bob Carson, Ernie Crediford, and Janelle Downs to learn about native flora, and the geology and ecology of the Wallula Gap. This is a multi-stop trip with opportunities to walk and hike as desired. The trip begins at the Wallula Unit of the Fish and Wildlife Service for an introduction to the geological features of Wallula Gap. Next travel to the Twin Sisters for botanizing and lunching (and more geological features). Leaving Twin Sisters, there is a stop at Spring Gulch before continuing to Juniper Canyon and an optional hike up to the ridge.

Directions: To get there, from Hiway 12, about 0.25 miles north of Walla Walla River and approximately 0.5 miles north of the Wallula Junction of Hiway 12 and Hiway 730, turn to the east onto North Shore Road. This will be a left turn if you are coming from the Tri-Cities, or a right hand turn if coming from Walla Walla. Follow Northshore Road for about 0.5 miles to a parking area.
