Yakima's waterfall hunting happens up Highway 12, where dry hills give way to White Pass timber. Clear Creek Falls hardly asks for a walk; 300 feet of freefall shows from a viewpoint steps off the highway. Devil Creek Falls takes half a mile. The workout here is Dry Creek Falls, 4.4 miles with 700 feet of climbing. Down in the canyon country south of town, Logy Creek Falls runs a couple of miles round trip. Eleven falls make the radius, and dogs can join on nearly every trail.

Located at 46.5923°N, -120.5496°W
