Umtanum Creek Canyon — Sunday, Apr. 28, 2013

Central Washington > Yakima

Herd of bighorn sheep seen up on the rocks in the canyon. 1 big ram and several females. Plenty of blooming wildflowers: lupine & balsamroot on the trail going up to Umtanum Ridge, oregon grape & miner's lettuce on the canyon floor; also lilacs and apple blossoms by the old settler's homestead. I didn't see any snakes, but other hikers reported seeing one or two.
