What to bring: Bring walking stick, tick repellant, hat, lunch, water and a few dollars for driver if car pooling. Dress appropriately in sturdy walking shoes or boots and, depending on terrain, long pants. Guests are welcome. Registration not necessary. Pickup in Dayton or Milton Freewater as arranged.
General questions, concerns and corrections regarding the hike can be directed to Darcy Dauble dadauble@gmail.com
Will stick to dates unless we can’t (forest fire, air quality, flood, washed out roads, cougar tracks, thunder and lightening….). Reach out to Darcy Dauble (dadauble@gmail.com) with questions. Specific trails not identified at this time. Blooms are early this year so we are starting early but trying to be flexible about destinations. The theme is plant communities and an association with water (abundance or lack thereof). Some hikes may be a few miles – others a mile or so exploring seeps, a wet meadow, a creekside and springs!
