Richland, WA – Manhattan Project National Historical Park is partnering with Bike Tri-Cities, the REACH Museum, and REI to host Ride with a Ranger program on Saturday, September 30 at 9:00 am. Ride with a Ranger is a free, family-friendly interpretive bike ride along the Sacajawea Heritage Trail from Columbia Point Marina Park to the REACH Museum in Richland.

Participants will join National Park Service rangers and REACH Museum staff for an 8-mile round-trip ride from Columbia Point Marina Park to the REACH Museum. There will be a stop along the route for presentation about local plants and animals on the way to the museum. At the REACH Museum, participants will have the opportunity to enjoy hands-on activities, attend a ranger program about the Manhattan Project, walk the Energy Northwest Animal Trail, and explore indoor museum exhibits. 

Registration is required to participate in this free event. Event registration closes on September 29 at 6:00 pm. Bike Tri-Cities paid for museum admission for registrants.

“We are excited to offer this family-friendly ranger program and share the rich natural and cultural heritage of the Tri-Cities. Ride with a Ranger is the perfect family-friendly activity to enjoy the fall weather,” said Hanford Unit Site Manager Becky Burghart.
