Short Description of Activity
Hiked the Miller Creek Ridge Trail part of the Columbia Land Trust that was in the peak of flowers and that provided expansive views of the plateau geography of the area.
Reflection/Evaluation
The amount of flowers, the thickness of the balsam root and lupine and the intensity of color was awesome. Perfect warm sunny day that was inspiring to all. Good conversation and social time.
Started out with 9 people signed up but due to health issues and last-minute schedule changes I lost 5 out of the group. But this worked better with carpooling but was very time consuming on my part re-organizing and contacting people last minute.
