Trip Report

Hopefully all 19 hikers noticed the wildflower display. The calypso orchids, widow grass and one or two wild iris offered the purple hues while the trilliums spread the slopes with white. Dev and Josh, Eugene Parks and Open Space were just completing their work with gravel and rocks to fill up the problem spots on the Amazon Headwaters Trail.
