Special Feature:
This trail is so significant and is
included on this CD because of the
unbelievable floral displays in
mid-March through mid-June.
The trail is paved
and has benches along the way.
During the first 2 weeks of March,
the Grass Widow flowers are in bloom
and what a display they create for your
hiking pleasure. Be aware that the
wind can be a real problem in this
area of the Columbia River Gorge.
The bright side is that the weather
is often sunny here while cloudy
elsewhere. Be prepared for the wind
and for cold temperatures.
