Umtanum Quick Shots

While rain was falling over much of western Washington yesterday, Tanya, Carson and I took a hike in eastern Washington up Umtanum Canyon. It took two hours to drive there from Tacoma, but it was worth it to stretch our legs in a desert canyon. Here’s some quick shots from the trip.

Tanya and Carson crossing the Yakima River; Umtanum Canyon is in the background.

Carson and snow — Part of the trail was snow covered. Carson would sit and lay in it whenever he got the chance.

Pine and Cliff Wall — Ponderosa pine (one of the few large trees in the canyon) and a colorful cliff wall

Old aspen leaf — Spring is on the way. Here grass is starting to poke through an aspen leaf that fell last fall.

Yellow twigs — I’m not sure what this bush is, but I liked its yellowish orange bark.
