At the trailhead, Terry, our leader, reviews her map

This is where we hiked

At the trailhead our leader Terry assembles the group and explains where we are going

The trail was very nice with only gradual elevation changes

Stopping to look at the view

There was smoke in the air from the fire in Estacada, but on the way out we could see Mt. Hood

There was smoke, but we could still see a long way

We could see Shellrock Mountain

This rock is about ready to fall

We had lunch at a delightful spot

It is such a delightful spot, Joan is sad that it is time to start back

Finally we are back at the trail head and Terry checks her GPS to see how far we hiked.

We did see one flower along the way

Rosy Gilia
(Gilia sinuata)
