Creation Encounter

Rowena Plateau Flora and Fauna

​

This outing, led by Steve Hayley, is tailored for those especially interested in an introduction to the abundant spring wildflowers of the East Columbia River Gorge. With a few short hikes, our focus will be on identification, using Jolley's Wildflowers of The Columbia Gorge (1988), and photography, for those interested.  We can expect to examine 30-35 species, if past experience proves true. Also we will encounter quite a variety of birds.

​

Meet at Starbucks near the Hood River Bridge at 9:00 am and return by 3:30 pm. The suggested donation is $25 for families and $15 for individuals and includes a useful wildflower ID key and other creation information. With day trips, it is not necessary to send us your donation; just bring it the day of the outing.
