Cowiche Creek
We began our hike at the Weikel Road TH. There were many flowers blooming--balsamroot,prairie Star, buckwheat, fiddle-neck, larkspur,phacelia to name a few. We saw a red-tailed hawk land in a nest on the rocks near Bridge #4 Many swallow nests were near the hawk's nest and there was much swallow activity! This is a beautiful and peaceful nature walk. The flowers are at their prime, the birds were many, and the sunny skies were great after so much Seattle Rain! When we came to the Uplands Overlook Trail, we hiked as far as the large Cowiche Canyon sign, then turned around to hike to the eastern entrance to then return to the TH.
