2018-06-29 Upper Dungeness River Trail
All the hikers but one
Here’s Johnny!
Our hike through the woods begins
One of many flowers we saw -- Howell’s fleabane
These flowers were all along the way -- Western Bunchberry
Western Bunchberry close up
Denny and Sarah our hike leaders
The Dungeness River was really running high
We did see some wildlife along the way
Not a good place to slip
We had good views of the river from the bridge
Going to seed
A pretty mushroom on the trail
The river was really raging
The river is very near the trail in many places
This tree couldn’t figure out which way is up
Beautiful flower along the trail -- Broadleaf Lupine
One of two bridges we crossed
Max poses while Marie laughs
In places the trail is very near the river
Another pretty flower -- Maximilian sunflower
Going down is ok, but we have to come back up the same trail
I like the water droplets on the peddles -- Shrubby Cinquefoil
We make it to Camp Handy our turnaround point
Now that’s some happy hikers
All the ducks in a row
The rest of the hikers
Flowers at the turnaround spot -- Sitka Valerian
Going to seed -- not sure flower type
There were a few Rhododendrons in bloom
Very delicate small flower -- foamflower
Denny and Merrily pause to admire the river
The other bridge we crossed
On our way back to the trailhead parking lot
Denny, Sarah and Sharlene enjoy the view from the bridge
Our last view of the river before we reach the trailhead parking lot
That's all folks!
