Mount Emily Recreation Area

Pacific Northwest Hiking

This is a great hike! The trails would also be great for mountain biking. There is an actual mountain bike track area next to the trails. I did the Mera trail. It was about 8.8 miles out and back. There are some beautiful views of the valley. The trail winds through thick trees. There are a few creeks with little bridges to cross. All and all it was an awesome hike. I packed a cooler and had a meal at the end before heading back to the Tri-Cities. Great place for a family get away.

Love a good hike up at MERA! The Ponderosa/Fir forest that the trails go through is beautiful. The trails are well maintained and continue to get better. Make sure you have a map or know how to get around as it's somewhat easy to get turned around. Once the weather warms up expect more folks around, including on bikes and horses (as the trails are shared) and with their dogs!

Great place to hike! We took your MERA loop. The hike had everything you want in a forest hike ; flowers , trees , river and a lizard . Loved it.

So many trails! I can't believe I've lived here my while life and didn't know this was here! The goldfish pond is an amazing surprise on your journey! It's emerald green and beautiful! There are bike trails, hiking trails and there are tons of them, all varieties. A family favorite now, especially during corona virus. A safe place to bring the family to get out of the house.
