Ridge to River - Friends of Mission Ridge #MissionRidge

Ridge to River follows locals as they trace lines across the Mission Ridge, following the migrations of the Colockum elk, chasing ski turns, and growing food at its base. Ridge to River is a love letter to this landform that stretches from Mission Peak to the Columbia River. A developer has proposed a 7,812-bed luxury resort near the top of Mission Ridge, adjacent to the Mission Ridge Ski Area. Orchardists, skiers, hunters, birders, and Tribes are concerned about the impacts that this development would have on the ecology and culture of the region. Mission Ridge was an oasis during the last ice age, while the surrounding terrain was buried under thousands of feet of glacial ice or scoured by cataclysmic floods. The mountain became a refuge for plants, animals, and early humans, evidenced by the fact that it has one of the highest occurrences of endemic plants in the region, and continuous human habitation going back before the building of the pyramids in Egypt.
