Cowiche Canyon, hot day with slight breeze. Trail in good condition. Rattlesnakes were out.

2 miles round trip (could go further if you want)

2pm start hike from Wilridge Winery 
2:20pm reached the valley bridge on the canyon floor.
2:30pm reached a look out point on the upland trail - only .25 miles from the valley (didn't go all the way up).
3pm left the upland area
4pm got back to the winery for wine tasting

We walked from the Cowiche Canyon Road parking lot to the Weikel Road parking lot and back. The wildflowers are just starting. It was a beautiful morning to walk the trail. Caution: We saw a good size rattlesnake. We heard the rattle next to us and it was in the brush right next to the trail. We were able to see it very clearly, but I wasn't able to take a picture of it. (I was too scared to take my eyes off it!) We saw quite a few trees beginning to blossom and lots of lush green canyon walls. We were entertained by a couple of Marmots near the end of the hike.

Directions to the trail via WTA will get you to the trailhead. Lots of wildflowers in bloom. The first mile, the Cowiche Canyon Conservatory has tags out to identify native plants.
