Trip Report

This trip was done on day #2 of the Menucha Extended trip. The balsamroot flowers were at their peak; we couldn't soak in enough of them. And tucked in amongst the large yellow flowers were lupine, chocolate lilies, delphiniums, yarrow, paintbrush and more. This is the best wildflower hike in the Gorge. For additional information about the trip, see the Menucha Extended Trip report in the July, 2009 Bulletin

Hikers were Mari Baldwin, Mary Holbert, Richard Hughes and Lana Lindstrom, leader.
