Photos from the Powell Butte Walk

Johnson Creek

The loooooong walk uphill to where the trail starts (the parking lot area is closed due to construction so you have to walk quite a way to get there).

Some of the construction going on

Ahh, here is a trail, let's see where it goes!

Julie thinks these might be Horsetail Ferns. There are many of them and look pretty cool.

The view from half way up the hill we are on.

Some of the trees we saw, not sure why they are all grouped right there, but they were pretty from a distance.

As you get close to the top, they have several of these markers in a circle. This one is for Table Rock. The next picture shows where it is.

This is Table Rock.

Okay, I really like tree pictures.

Look! It's a you are here sign! It was not much help as we did not really know where we were to begin with.

One fuzzy caterpillar (I rescued him and moved him off the path)

Julie and I think this might be a watering hole of some kind, or a duck pond, not really sure, it was in a pretty random place.

2 Fuzzy caterpillars we have now seen. And yes, we did take a shoe picture with the caterpillar in it. I moved him off the path as well.

Look! He now has two new friends. They really like the spiky plant.

A big giant wetland area. The water was coming over the path. Very wet!

3 caterpillars we have come across, although this one is not fuzzy! It was very big and in the way of where we needed to walk to get back down the hill to the car.
