Wildflower Walk: Umatilla Rim/Johnson Creek

Wednesday, June 27, 9am. Umatilla Rim/Johnson Creek. Leader: Martine Purcell (martine.in.ww@gmail.com). A favorite hike with open rocky slopes, stream crossings and a marshy meadow providing many opportunities to view wildflowers and shrubs. Over 60 plants listed on our plant list for last year including the Sabine’s Lupine.  4.5 miles roundtrip with a bit of an initial return climb.

Meet on Whitman Campus in Walla Walla at Harper Joy Theater parking lot. Trips out of Dayton will meet at railroad ‘Depot’ in Dayton 50 minutes after Walla Walla time. Carpooling arrangements will be made at meeting places and times.  Return time is usually late afternoon. Bring walking stick, tick repellant, hat, lunch, water and a few dollars for driver. Dress appropriately in sturdy walking shoes or boots and, depending on terrain, long pants. Guests are welcome. Email contact/leader person if you have questions about difficulty, length or trailhead. General questions about the hikes can be directed to Darcy Dauble dadauble@gmail.com Unless otherwise noted, these hikes are mostly level and leisurely in pace.
