애버딘 칼럼은 오래 전 화산 활동으로 형성된 현무암 기둥입니다. 세계적으로 유명한 자이언츠 코즈웨이처럼 이 기둥들은 대부분 육각형이며, 깊은 용암류가 식으면서 아래로 스며드는 균열이 생겨 지금 볼 수 있는 독특한 모양을 만들었습니다.

From a viewing platform at the end of the trail, you can take in the majesty of the 90-foot, two-step Margaret Falls.

This section of the trail has a series of five impressive waterfalls coming out of Celista Creek. The falls are named after the original settler of the area, Alfred Bass.

The Colville National Forest is home to 1.5 million acres of peaks and forests carved 10,000 years ago by Ice Age glaciers. Inside are the Salmo-Priest Wilderness and the Abercrombie-Hooknose Roadless Area, which are recognized for their wild wilderness.

Every four years, the Adams River turns red. This is when a so-called "dominant salmon run" takes place in the river, a salmon migration in which millions of sockeye salmon swim upstream. There they lay up to 4,000 eggs, which are fertilized by the male salmon. The next big salmon migration will take place in 2026, when the Salute to the Sockeye Festival will be held again.

The small mountain lake Tod Lake is located at an altitude of 1,995 meters, directly below Mount Tod, the highest of the three peaks of the Sun Peaks Resort. At the southern end of the lake there is a wooden table that is ideal for a break with a beautiful view of the clear water.

The views are impressive, with panoramic views of the canyon and valley that will leave you speechless. The route is mostly flat, making it accessible to cyclists of all levels, although the length of the ride and elevated views add a touch of adventure. The infrastructure is excellent, with good maintenance and signage, so you can focus on enjoying the trip. There are convenient access points and options to rent bikes if you don't bring your own.
