2014/4/5, Saturday.
Catherine Creek to Coyote Wall and back. We took the lower trail west, and came back via the higher trail.

This is a place for wander. Lots of trail for hikers and bikers (Coyote Wall). Large grassy meadow, a couple of creeks, a patch of oak trees and basalt cliffs. Excellent view of Columbia River. On the good day, even Mt. Hood. Grass Widows are almost all gone, camas and balsamroots are coming.
6 of us today. Encountered ~20 bikers and ~10 other hikers. Quite quiet. We drove out from Portland in pouring rain. Only a little bit of rain, some sunshine on the slope. A good location for a wet day.
