Meet at Harper Joy Theater Parking Lot in Walla Walla. Leaving by 10am. We will car pool/caravan up Mill Creek and enter the Umatilla National Forest on FS Rd 65. We will park on spur road 6512 and walk leisurely for 1.5 miles along the spur studying the roadside and cliffside seeps. A wet, late spring makes this an optimum time for viewing blooms. A detour up Trail #3222 takes us to a waterfall. An extensive plant list is available. 4,200’

Bring walking stick, tick repellant, hat, mask, lunch, water and a few dollars for driver. Dress appropriately in sturdy walking shoes or boots and, depending on terrain, long pants. Guests are welcome. Unless otherwise noted, these hikes are easy to moderate elevation and leisurely in pace. Plant lists are available for most.
