A hike through early Spring flowers at Dallas Mt. Ranch with Lori and Sylvia. We went to the Bargeway Pub afterwards
Dallas Mt. Ranch
Kelley Point Park
I had some new photo gear to test and it was a beautiful morning so I stayed close to home and went out to Kelley Point Park. There was new green on the trees, the lighting was low, big cargo ships docked, all made for good conditions to play with some cameras for a few hours.
WSU Vancouver More Trails
I returned to Washington State University in Vancouver to explore the rest of the Cougar Trails. I started by going up to highest elevation that gave me great early morning views of Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Hood. I then headed over to the wooded trails that run along Mill Creek. Next I did some connector trails that took me over to Pleasant Valley Community Park. From there I made my way back to my car. The Cougar Trails take you through a number of environments from college campus to open fields to woodland to wetlands to flowing creeks and gives you great mountains view to running water to enjoy. Plus many enjoyable people to meet along the trail.
Washington State University Vanc. Walk
Early morning exploratory walk of Washington State University Vancouver. There are a number of trail (cougar trails) at WSU. I a did a loop around the property and covered 5 miles.
Catherine Creek Hike
Out timing was right to catch the last sunny day for a while and judging by the parking lot a lot of folks had the same idea. Lori, Jeanette, Sylvia and I got back to Catherine Creek to find the early season wildflowers blooming and to enjoy the beautiful scenery, We did not do a lot of distance but we did climb 750ft in a mile. After enjoying the nice weather we went to Riverside for a late lunch and enjoy the river view.
