General Information:
The Beezley Hills rise between Frenchman Gap and Moses Coulee, and these hills are part of the geological formation that is called the Yakima Fold Belt.
It should be also noted that the highest point in the Beezley Hills is monument Hill with an elevation of 2,882 feet.
In 2012, 20 miles of trails were open here in the Beezley Hills Recreation Area.
The Beezley Hills Preserve is a part of a wonderful shrub-steppe ecosystem; it receives 10-15 inches of rain annually and is home for many arid climate species.
The preserve protects a great number of animals and plants, wonderful displays of wild flowers can be found along the way. Just open your eyes and enjoy the scenery.
From the very beginning the trail takes it’s hikers along the old jeep road through the most beautiful scenery. Late in April and early in May, you will enjoy hedgehog cactus, balsamroot, daggerpod, phlox and etc.
These three miles open fabulous hiking opportunities for families with kids and for those who love Eastern Washington scenery, its natural wonders and serenity.
