On our most recent visit to see Mickey and Joan in Portland, we were joined by their friend Kashala for a day hike at Catherine Creek, a couple hours east along the Columbia River gorge.
It was a beautiful spring day and we had some panoramic views of Mt. Hood on the horizon above the river and the orchards on the Oregon side of the river.
I loved the derelict old corrals along this trail and took several pictures of them.
We had a nice picnic at the top of the trail and some people even had a little lie down. The tough looking guy in the hat is brother-in-law Mickey...
We saw lots of wildflowers, some in great swaths sort of "flowing" down the mountain.

The drive back along Hiway 14 was pretty. The Friday afternoon traffic on I-5 coming into Portland was not!
