Have You Seen the Horse on Mt. Adams? It’s Coming Soon
When I was growing up in Yakima, my mom would tell me about the horse on Mt. Adams. No, not a literal, physical horse. Just something that looks like a horse in Mt. Adams. Have you seen or heard of this, too?
The idea being that when the snow melts from Mt. Adams, the way the mountain is shaped, the snow melt area will unveil the silhouette of a horse. And you'll be able to see it very soon, maybe as soon as this weekend.
There are some in Yakima that seeing the horse in Mt. Adams is the first true sign of spring. Not what a groundhog may or may not see, not flowers blooming, this horse on Mt. Adams.
We're expecting pretty high temperatures this weekend so I have a feeling that the window of opportunity to see the horst on Mt. Adams is pretty limited. You can kind of see it now coming through. You can see where it will be but give it a few more days and you should be able to see it a lot better.
I'll keep an eye out for it as well.
