Many of the sites overlook the Entiat River as it cascades down the valley to meet the Columbia. The open forest provides plenty of sunshine and a diverse habitat that supports deer, bears, coyotes, bald eagles, and numerous other animals. The Entiat River is fertile ground for salmon and steelhead which still use this waterway for spawning grounds.
