Naches

We spent the first weekend of Spring Break with BM & TP at a Forest Service cabin on the Naches River, just upstream of Yakima. This cute little building is the place, located where the Bumping River flows into the Naches.


We drove to the end of Bumping Road and skied partway around Bumping Lake. The first part of the day was beautifully sunny; later this storm came in. Here is the view from the dam at the end of the lake.


Lunch was delicious, as always. Here B demonstrates the reason we wear skis. (Yes, he really did sink in about as far as a man can sink...)

The following day we stopped by the Yakima Heritage Center, located outside of Toppenish, and enjoyed the nice display documenting the culture and history of the Yakima people. I particularly enjoyed some of the more modern (20th century) topics.
