Yup. Also gtfo if you come across anything that looks like a meth cook. Bear mace works against more than just bears and mountain lions.

Reply to Unique Feeling Areas to Hike by mountainsofcorn
The areas outside of Ellensburg like Umtanum Ridge always feel different to me since they are basically high desert. Watch out for rattlers. https://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/umtanum-ridge-crest
I’ve always wanted to check out more of the scablands created by the Missoula Flood but can’t tell you any specifics of good hikes in the area. Probably pretty easy to find something.
Not different biome, but have you done the Kendall Catwalk? Its a benchcut in solid rock a hundred feet up. Built by the WPA, I believe. https://northbendescapes.com/kendall-katwalk/ https://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/kendall-katwalk
Ever tried snow shoeing? Definitely a different hiking style.

That’s wild. I had no idea it was built here. Now I want to know in which shipyard.

Was just there this week walking around the Pike Place area at dusk. Looking out over the sound at a beautiful sunset. Spiced cider from one lone apple vendor that stayed behind. Lots of other people walking around and enjoying themselves. It was magical.
