2018-05-04 Port Ludlow Hike
All the hikers but one
Here’s Johnny!
I almost forgot the youngest members of our group
The hike begins with a walk towards the marina
Our youngest hiker has the right idea – let mom do the walking
Our most senior hiker Alyce prefers to do her own walking
A beautiful view of the Inn and Ludlow Bay
There were some pretty flowers along the way
Our bag lady Cathy always picking up trash wherever she goes
On the Around the Bay Trail heading for Picnic Point
Even on an urban hike there are pretty things to see
Across the bridge and then on to Picnic Point
The view of Port Ludlow marina from Picnic Point
Picnic Point gazebo
Ludlow Cove from Picnic Point
Alyce leads the way from Picnic Point to the Interpretive Trail
Leaving Ludlow Cove heading for the Interpretive Trail
On our way to Ludlow Falls

Sharlene on the new steps she helped to build
Ludlow Falls with lots of water
Jim and others enjoying the falls
Merrily leads the pack on their way to the Osprey Trail
The Osprey Trail bridge
The half mile Osprey Trail includes 226 steps
More Osprey Trail steps all created and installed by volunteers
Denny, the volunteer who installed many of the 226 steps
Unlike the Osprey Trail, the Talbot Trail is mostly flat
A Robin’s egg lying on the ground
30 foot live tree standing on stilts
One of many Trillium flowers seen along the way
On the Lower Rainier Trail heading back to the starting point
On a good hike you stop and smell the roses
Another urban hike beauty
We return to the Interpretive Trail for our after hike refreshments
Don, Jack and Merrily guarding the refreshments
Merrily putting out after hike refreshments
That's all folks!
