Join IATC’s Svet Semov on this hike along the De Leo Wall Trail featuring some of the highest density of conifers in Cougar Mountain. We’ll make frequent stops to observe and marvel at local nature - Douglas fir, Wester redcedar, Bigleaf maple, Oregon grape, salal etc. Bring your sense of wonder. We’ll move intentionally trying to notice and observe the beauty of nature. Bring something to write on or just try to remember and point out the most curious nature patterns you see. We will compare notes and discuss our top picks.
