The Wenaha River Trail runs for 30 miles along the Wenaha River from Troy to Timothy Springs, passing through the Wenaha-Tucannon Wilderness for three-quarters of its length. When the mountains are still buried in snow, the lower (eastern) section of the trail presents an opportunity for spring hiking. At that time of year, you may see balsamroot, desert parsley, larkspur, shooting stars, Dutchman's breeches, Brown's peony, hairy clematis, and ballhead waterleaf in bloom. Watch for bighorn sheep high on the canyon walls. You can hike as far as the Crooked Creek Footbridge , which was destroyed in the 2015 Grizzly Bear Complex Fire but replaced in May 2024. The trail undulates and passes through brushy bottomlands now offering less shade than previously and probably also a few downed trees.
