Angels Rest

This is a popular trail on weekends, with lots of hikers and some canine friends. One can also continue the hike, by turning right at the summit, and heading either to the Wahkeena Falls Trail or descend via the Multnomah Falls Trail. At this time, the leaves of many plants may be seen, which is good ID practice and anticipation of what will come later!
