Candy Mountain
About
Candy Mountain is a summit in Washington, about 4 miles from the town of West Richland. The most comfortable months for a visit tend to fall in late spring and early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Richland show May highs around 74°F and September highs near 79°F, while July and August average in the high 80s. That station sits roughly 1,000 feet below the summit, so temperatures up top generally run cooler. The Candy Mountain Trail lies about a mile away, and the Langdon Trail is just under 2 miles off. Within about 3 miles are the Loop Trail and the Canyon Trail.
