The Sacagawea Heritage Trail is a scenic river trek along the Columbia River through the Tri-Cities of Richland, Kennewick and Pasco in southeastern Washington. The trail is a 23-mile blacktop loop trail with portions on both sides of the Columbia River.

The trail, showcasing interpretive opportunities, is intended to serve as an amenity for both local residents and visitors to the area. The non-motorized loop routes along the river fronts in the Tri-Cities area, and creates linkages with waterfront parks. The trail system includes Class I multi-purpose trails, sidewalks, Class II bike routes (striped bike lanes) and Class III bike routes (signed bike routes).

This trail is an awesome path that borders the Mighty Columbia River for most of its route. The views of the river, wildlife and other features along the way are a big highlight of the Tri-Cities.

Zintel Canyon Trail 

The Zintel Canyon Trail is at the corner of 7th and Vancouver in a residential area of Kennewick. To get there, head south on Highway 395 from Highway 240 or travel north on Highway 395 from Interstate 82. Follow Highway 395 to 7th and head east to Vancouver Street and you’re there. You can park in a small, off-street parking lot. This is a remarkable trail, especially given it is in the middle of Kennewick in a densely populated neighborhood. This also brings its drawbacks as the area is frequented by those who have a lack of respect for the beauty that is right around us and it shows with some litter and markings along the trail.

An area trail that is also very beautiful is the Tri-Cities River Front Trail.
