| Location Memaloose Hills Hike |
| Where: Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area |
On this weekend get-a-way, Jeanette & I camped with friends Michael & Annie O'Shaugden at Memaloose State Park. After a breakfast in Mosier at the Wildflower Café we drove to the Memaloose Rest Area on I-84 for our day's hike in the Memaloose Hills.
Part way up the slopes of Hudson Hill we paused to enjoy the view across the Columbia River to the Washington side with the green hills of the Catherine Creek area.

Down the south slope of Castilleja Hill we made our way through thick fields of yellow flowering Balsam Root.

It was a great day for photographing wildflowers, and I was able to add good photos of Blue-eyed Mary, Bigheaded Clover and Ballhead Waterleaf.
