2018-08-10 Duckabush River Trail Hike
All the hikers but one
Here’s Johnny!
The hike begins
A little waterfall along the way
Mushrooms on the end of a log
The hike begins with some downhill
Nancy looks happy
Lynn is working on happy
In places the trail is next to the river
The river was running strong
Shirley admires the river
The river looks and sounds great
Bill looks really happy – lack of oxygen will do that
Jack wants to know “are we there yet?”
June and Shirley admire Mother Nature’s garden art
One of the few flowers: Pearly Everlasting -- Aster Family
A nearby forest fire made it very hazy
Dennis and Jack take a break
Gary to Bill: We climbed all this way for that view?
Ann likes the smoke: It’s better than sun block
A mushroom that looks like a smiley face
Pearly Everlasting -- Aster Family
Tundra Aster -- Aster Family
In places the trail has multiple switchbacks
A mushroom hiding under a log
Mother Nature’s garden art
So, what’s everybody looking at?
It’s Sooty Grouse – Sooty is a type of Grouse not its attitude
The creeks running into the river were mostly dry
Our last look at the river
Spreadingpod Rockcress -- Mustard Family
I like how the red stands out next to the green
Looks like some terrible monster looking back at us
Looks like we all made it back to the parking lot
That's all folks!
