Catherine Creek - Universal Access Trail — Tuesday, Apr. 19, 2022

Southwest Washington > Columbia River Gorge - WA
Common camas and rosy plectritis

After our time at Lyle Cherry Orchard Trail, we went to Catherine Creek to add more walking to our day. The rain had stopped and we had a pleasant walk along the loop. Flowers seen were common camas with 2 white ones seen, rosy plectritis, yellow desert parsley, broomrape and bicolored cluster lilies. We talked to 3 people who had seen a bitterroot on the upper trail near the trail to the bridge if you take the counter clockwise loop on the Catherine Creek Loop Trail and we found it.
