This hike is NOT on a designated or developed trail.
The Catherine Creek area is becoming very popular among hikers as they discover
the incredible floral displays that are seen here each early spring. Also, there
is an excellent Universal Access Trail way for the disabled to gain access to the
wonders of the Columbia River Gorge and the floral displays often found only on
more difficult terrain.
The map above is a humble representation of where I took the photos included in
this guide, and is not by any means accurate or to be used for navigation purposes.
But the photos will give you an enticing view of the Catherine Creek area and
hopefully will inspire you to venture forth on your own excursion and find the
rich rewards available in this newly developed area.
