Umtanum Creek Canyon — Friday, May. 3, 2024

Great day in Umtanum Canyon!

Balsamroot and lupine are at peak.

We turned around after about two miles as it was overgrown.

Before that there is a creek crossing- rocks are super slippery, also a log option.

There are a couple of blowdowns to step over/under but not too big of a deal.

We saw two rattlesnakes and one gopher snake so stay alert for that. Passed them without incident but were very careful!
