Geocache Description:



“You are at the edge of Horse Heaven Hills where bands of wild horses once roamed, now a vast wheat growing area. Stretching westward below you is the Yakima Valley, home of the Yakama Indian Nation. This once arid region today ranks among the most fertile irrigated areas in the United States. More than fifty different crops and a whole variety of livestock, particularly beef and dairy cattle, are raised here. Water for this 450,000 acres of irrigated land is diverted from the Yakima River and its tributaries and distributed through a network of reservoirs and canals. Below is the city of Prosser, which is the Benton County seat and the heart of Washington’s wine country. Five miles north of it is the W.S.U. Agricultural Research Center. The Cascade Mountains etch the western skyline with Mt. Adams directly west and north of it, Mt. Rainier, rising to an elevation of 14,420 ft. To the northeast are the Rattlesnake Hills and beyond them is the Ecology Reserve and Hanford site. The Columbia River encircles Benton County on the north, east and south.” (As quoted from the Benton County location placemark)
