Timed for the desert wildflower bloom on the Hanford Reach, this dramatic hike packs a lot into one trip - history, wildflowers, sweeping views of the Columbia River, and more! During this four-mile round trip, we will cross rolling hills and one large sand dune. After lunch atop the dune, we will visit one of the oldest structures in Franklin County: the remains of a cabin from the 1800s, when the town of White Bluffs was an important trade center along the river.
Students will carpool to secondary locations. All students must sign a field trip liability waiver before the start of class in order to attend. You will be asked to sign the form during the registration process.
Required Materials: Good walking or hiking shoes; lunch; water; a backpack or bag; hat; appropriate clothes for the weather; sunscreen.

Arrive a little early! The group will meet in the main WWCC parking lot, in front of the Dome/Gym. We will depart at 8:30am.
