We will do an approximately 3.5-mile out-and-back hike in the city of Mosier, visiting the Pioneer cemetery, Mosier Falls, and a view of the Columbia River. With a little luck, we should be able to view wildflowers such as balsam root, lupine, cryptantha, and bachelors buttons, among others. Please pack a lunch, as we will be eating at the Mosier City Park. As always this time of year, wear long pants and boots and bring a walking stick.
There will be poison oak, ticks, and possibly snakes present.
