Julie and I took a short hike to Green Peak Falls last weekend. It was warm but comfortable. We got a late start, but ended up having a great time. It's just a nice place for a hike and to see some trees and water falls.
Find the Deer in this pic and win a prize. Your prize is a picture of a deer.
This is the second fella that "greeted" us on the trail.
Here is our next greeter, Mr. Bushy Tail.
More of the Dinosaur plants, I need to find out what these really are. *EDIT* Looks like the Dino Plants may be Western Skunk Cabbage (Lysichiton americanus) Thanks Din!
The trail is still almost a freeway at this point.
I was too slow to catch a picture of another bushy tailed fella using the tree in the lower part of the pic as a bridge.
Sign.
Pretty bridge pic. This was some guys Eagle Scout project.
I think this stuff may be vine maple, but I am not sure at all. It is a neat little section of the trail.
...and looking back
Interesting little tree. I see these now and then, but this one I could get good shot of.
Tree with fungus?
Mossy tree.
Quite a few stumps up here with the notches from the old lumberjack spring boards. You see them now only at logging events and shows.
The top of Alsea falls.
This is Alsea falls.
Me at top of falls. Julie says that I need to learn how to pose for pictures.
She does a better job of posing.
