Columbia Hills State Park - Crawford Oaks — Sunday, Apr. 27, 2025

Lovely but windy day on trail. My app said gusts up to 35 mph I was definitely pushed around a little. I arrived about 11:30 to snag the last parking spot. Balsam Root is past prime but still lovely. Lupin and other blooms are out too as cheerful company. Note, I passed a rattlesnake on the access trail so keep an eye on pups and kiddos.

Bathroom clean and stocked. Finally make sure you look up from the parking lot to find the cute waterfall, I almost missed it.
