The Hallelujah Hikers experienced sun, rain & hail on our 12 mile Rattlesnake Trail hike today. Once we arrived at the car, drenched to the skin despite our jackets, we also found 2 woodticks. The lupine were in full bloom in white, pink & blue shades. False Solomon's Seal & Shooting Stars were in the shade near the creek that the trail followed. The chokecherry bushes wore blossums, the squirrels ran around us & a snake slithered across the trail in front of us. We talked with two hikers who had just seen 2 black bears & 1 cinnamon-colored bear up the mountainside west of the trail. We never spotted them however. We saw much evidence of beavers: their dam & trees they had been gnawing.

Oh my -- if I were a member of the prestigious Hallelujah Hikers wilderness walking team, I would have hung out at a coffee shop when you did the "Rattlesnake Trail"! Just the name gives me shivers! The picture of the beaver damage is amazing!
