Badger Mountain Centennial Preserve - Nature preserve in Richland - 533 Queensgate Dr, USA

Hike the mountains you have, not the ones you wish to have. Badger wouldn't be a five-star hike in the Cascades, but it's the best we have in the Tri-Cities. The trails are in excellent shape throughout the year. I wish the powers that be would resurrect some of the historical paths that are steeper. It would be easy to have a trail about 50% steeper than the Canyon Trail. People never cut switchbacks if the trail is steep enough.

I've hiked this area since 2011. Absolutely love it.

Great hike but no shade. Take water and sunscreen. It is a large hill with some wild flowers and birds.

Great trails, good views. It's not like you can get in the cascades, but it's in our own backyard!

Thanks so much to volunteer trail crew members who spend their time making our hiking trails safer and more accessible. Great job, trails are on good shape as us. 😁 Great view, nice people

Best hiking in the Tri Cities. Well used trails, nicely maintained, beautiful views. I hike multiple times each week and love being able to get out in nature so close to home.

Beautiful place to hike and to have a picnic. Trails are well marked and range from easy to difficult.

It is a great trail system for the area. While it's certainly not a hike in the cascades, it does offer some good vista's. If you want to enjoy the sunrise or sunset, make sure you head up at least 30-45 minutes ahead of time to enjoy the best colors and views.
