Memaloose Hills

This afternoon, I drove to the Memaloose Overlook near Mosier Oregon to hike in Memaloose Hills. I did both the Marsh Hill Loop and the Chatfield Hill loops, overall 3 mile with 550 ft of gain. View from Memaloose Overlook of the Columbia River to the northwest.

This is a great wildflower hike in the spring. Here balsamroot along the trail.

Looking over towards Chatfield Hill to the west.
Heading up Marsh Hill.

Between Marsh Hill and Chatfield Hill, the trail goes along a cow pasture.

Heading up Chatfield Hill,
where lupine was in bloom along with the balsamroot.

Paintbrush in bloom up on Chatfield Hill, view to the northwest.
