May 2012: Baker River hike

The weather forecast for Mother's Day was for sunshine and warm temperatures. And we were ready to put on our hiking shoes and hit the trails. Baker River Trail was our destination, a most level 2.5 mile trail thru old growth forest ending on the cobbled shores of Sulphide Creek. Early flowers were appearing and the sun shone as promised.

There were lots of streams to cross along the trail, and Cara is getting to be a pro.

She is lots of fun to hike with.

Rest stops with a comfortable seat help.

The stop next to Sulphide Creek gave an opportunity to explore a large log...

eat lunch...

and 'fish' for goodies from the creek bed.

Cara collected a beautiful assortment of 'fish'.

The trees never cease to amaze us.

Last rest stop on our way out, above the river.
