Naturalist Trip - Easton Ridge

A steep rise to a long ridge moving weest to east provides a transect of floral changes mostly depending on moisture. This is a marvelous mountain ridge hike considering proximity to Seattle. Birding is also excellent at this time of year and the open ridge gives good observation of birds.
