You will be looking for a black ½ gallon rubbermaid type container. There is plenty of parking at the Marie Dorian Park. The trail begins southeast of the park. WARNING: the trail is rough----you will be walking on rocks, stepping over small fallen trees, and dodging blackberry bushes. The river runs alongside the trail, so if you bring your dog he will have plenty of opportunity to get wet! This is another good area to “Cache In, Trash Out”.

THE WALLA WALLA RIVER
The Walla Walla River is an interstate river that originates in the Blue Mountains of eastern Oregon. It then runs north into Washington State and west to the Columbia River. This river is approximately 80 miles long. It originates at an elevation near 5800 feet, and at its confluence with the Columbia River, it’s elevation is approximately 330 feet above sea level. The Walla Walla River is spawning habitat for both bull trout and steelhead. The water is also widely used in the summer for crop irrigation. The name “Walla Walla” comes from the Native Americans who lived in the valley. It’s meaning is “many waters” or “small, rapid steams”.
