Five and a half mile Hike 4/7/14
to Dry Creek Falls

This was our destination

Joan on the trail

Elmer on the trail

It was a nice bridge across Dry Creek

The trail was well marked

We followed the Pacific Coast Trail to the Dry Creek Falls Trail

Much of the Hike was along Dry Creek

The falls was magnificent

Note how the top of the falls is in a deep canyon

The rock cliffs were amazing

Joan

Dry Creek is a classic rambling brook.

The trees do have a bit of moss.

Joan calls this "Hobbit Land"

We saw lots of Flowers

1) Pioneer Violet
2) Pacific Trillium
3) Calypso orchid -- fairy slipper
4) Oaks Toothwort (Cardamine pulcherrima)
