Yellow Lake — Friday, Apr. 22, 2022

Happy Earth Day! To celebrate, I brought my 8 yo, 6 yo and 2 yo out to Yellow Lake, as this was a new hike for us and we’ve been meaning to explore it for a while. This trail is a short, nearly flat kid-friendly loop taking one all the way around a very pretty little lake. The trail is in great shape and no mud at all. Right away we saw several gorgeous Wood Ducks! Some other waterfowl, beautiful (but scarce) fungi, lots of maple blossoms and salmonberry blossoms to snack on along the way. Look for the “fairy houses” in the trees along the trail, and enjoy the exercise equipment dotting the way. We made a half day of it, bringing our lunch to eat by the playground after some additional time burning off energy there. What a lovely morning celebrating all that the Earth has to offer.
