Lower Salmon River Hike

We had nice weather, that gave use a chance to head to the mountains for a hike. Lori, Jeanette, Sylvia and I went up the Lower Salmon River trail to do a 6.5 mile out and back hike. This trail runs next to the Salmon River in one of the last old growth forest left in Oregon. Afterwards we went to have a late lunch at Smokey Hearth in their out door seating area.

Wildwood Recreation Site

I went with Lori and Jeanette to explore the BLM Wildwood Recreation Site. Fall was in the air with a cool, light rain at the start of out walk. We started on the Cascade Streamwatch Trail and followed it to the Underwater Viewing Windows. We then switched onto the Trail to Salmon River and followed it up to Old Mill Nature Trail. We did a side trip to look around the Group Picnic Area. We finished up where we started and then head across the Salmon River to Explore the Wetland Boardwalk. We finished that and then headed for lunch at the Smoky Hearth.
