Evans Creek Preserve — Tuesday, Aug. 19, 2025

Nice walk in a green patch nestled in the Redmond suburbs. Although the trail was short, the terrain was varied, from a meadow to a wetland threaded by brooks, and from a hill through an old growth forest down to a blackberry and lupine (now sadly faded) field. It was fun to see all the different bridges, and the trail was well marked all along. A section of the upper trail was closed, as (unfortunately) was the privy, but there was a nice shady picnic table in the meadow where we ate our lunch. No bears, just a few little snakes.
