Pine and fir forest fill the valley of Union Creek, providing a cool retreat from the heat of summer. Explore open meadows and shadow-laden forests, watching for the deer and elk that browse through the valley and the birds that swarm the clusters of berry bushes and bug-rich creekbed. Hammer-headed woodpeckers and flickers pound out a bass line behind the melody of twittering nuthatches and trilling juncos. Not everyone will hear these feathered musicians--they have to take a break between sets--but everyone can enjoy the fragrant pine forest and, from the end of the trail, the spectacular views over the valley and beyond.
