Clackamas River Trail

May 17, 2007
        This was an outing of the Lake Oswego Hikers, led today by Michele Thompson.  Starting at the Fish Creek trailhead, we hiked upstream and took a side excursion to Pup Creek Falls.  It was a beautiful walk, with much to be remembered.  It was my first meeting with the Clackamas iris in its native habitat.  Seems like it only occurs here along the Clackamas River.  Thanks for leading the hike, Michele!
