Badger Mountain Centennial Preserve
The Badger Mountain Centennial Preserve protects Badger Mountain, located on the edge of Richland in Washington, provides a spectacular view of the Tri-Cities as well as the Columbia and Yakima rivers. The preserve provides a small piece of nature in a rapidly growing area. Trails are open for hiking. No motorized vehicles are allowed.
A non-profit group, Friends of Badger Mountain, worked to procure this shrub-steppe area that has most native vegetation intact and then built a trail to the summit so others can enjoy it. The 1.2 miles (1.9 km) trail rises 984 feet (300 m) above the trail head in Richland.
Friends of Badger Mountain is working to raise $1.5 million for a purchase of 205 acres of land around Candy Mountain to expand the preserve and create trails on that mountain. This is the next step toward reaching their goal of creating a 20 miles (32 km) trail connecting Little Badger Mountain, Badger Mountain, Candy Mountain and Red Mountain.
