Explore Mill Creek Ridge in The Dalles Sunday

## Mill Creek Ridge The Dalles, OR

Join us to explore this Columbia Land Trust property. Expect a moderate 5-mile ramble with a gentle 900' elevation gain. We'll skirt the mountain looking for spring beauty, few-flowered pea, larkspur, shooting star, puccoon, paintbrush, big-head clover, and more on a dirt road through oak and ponderosa woodlands. Then we'll continue up an open hillside where we'll lunch in sloping meadows of lupine and balsamroot. On a clear day, we'll be rewarded with expansive views of the Gorge and Mt. Hood. We'll carpool from Portland or you can meet us in The Dalles. See instructions. Let us know which option you choose by messaging the event host.
