Return
to Limpy Creek
August 2010
Grants Pass, Oregon |
|
|
We went for another hike up Limpy Creek Interpretive Botanical Trail. The water was running, even in the height of summer, and waterfalls were everywhere! Here are the photos.... (A reminder: in shaded environments, my camera's pictures are fuzzy...I apologize.) (To see shots from the first Limpy Creek hike in January 2010, visit this page.) |
Surprise!
As we pulled into the parking area, I recognized the car to my right -- it belonged to our friend Laurel! She and her friend Sallyeanne had just arrived, and they invited us to join them.

The trail begins near the base of the creek:
We headed up the trail and over a bridge...
 |
 |
...and eventually came to a sitting area overlooking the creek:
Along the way we saw some large, inverted, bowl-shaped spider webs:
 |
 |
But where were the spiders?
As usual, there were lots of cool moss and lichen:
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
Abundant ferns:
 |
 |
And, of course, endless views of the creek and waterfalls!
 |
 |
 |

We eventually wound our way up to the drier serpentine area:
 |
 |
...where some of the trunks are red!
 |
 |
Looking up has its benefits:
 |
 |
And so does looking out! There was a great view of the mountains:
I hope you enjoyed this return to Limpy Creek!
