Confirmed from Selah Ridge's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

What runners say about Selah Ridge

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (13 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

I stumbled upon the trail after discovering a sign on the side of the Yakima Greenway trail. In winter, the path is reasonably will used and simple to find even if there is no explicit signs other than the nice informational signs. On a clear day, the views from the ridge were really nice and I could just see Mt.

★★★★★ — Craig , Feb 2024

Great hiking area. I'd suggest it to anyone that love hiking but also be careful of course. It was a fun hike out in the somewhat dreary day when it rained the other day. Done this hike many times over the years, you should do it once too! If you're ambitious enough. (:

★★★★★ — Archangel , Jan 2023

Nice hike with a good view all around, at the summit. It was a bit windy on the steep side, so my walking stick came in handy.

★★★★★ — Susan , Dec 2020

Level of difficulty medium, gear sujested boots walking stick is helpful and plenty of water . An early start helps.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
