In this 107-acre site the basalt cliffs and rocky areas below them support the largest known population of a rare plant known as the basalt daisy. A state Threatened species, the basalt daisy grows only in a 10-mile stretch of the Yakima river canyon and immediate vicinity. The cliffs also provide nesting and roosting habitat for raptors including prairie falcons, red-tailed hawks and kestrels. (Yakima County)
