Clear Lake/waterfall loop

May 15, 2005

We had eleven people for our hike but one person succumbed to the call of the mushroom group who were gathered at the parking lot. Our hike had a mixture of weather—rain, drizzle, misty fog and sunshine while we ate lunch. We were treated to the following flora—calypso orchids and trillium. As we hike around Clear Lake we saw one bald eagle, osprey and two teals. This lush, watery hike was a first time for some of our group. This time of year is one of the best to see the most water at Sahalie and Koosah Falls and what a spectacular sight it was. We returned to our cars at Sahalie Falls parking lot where it isn’t necessary to have a N.W. Forest Permit.

Hikers were: Keith Christensen, Danielle Delaby, Walt Dolliver, Sandra Larsen, leader, Helen Martz, Nola Nelson, Tina Rain, Laurie Reed, Barb Revere and Nancy Whitfield.
