Mushroom Madness

Mushroom Madness

Entiat Falls actually looks like a waterfall early in the season! 
Who knew?

This week’s trip to the Entiat River marks our second trip to the mountains and third trip out this season.  We braved the road all the way to the end and stayed at Cottonwood Campground.  It was beautiful as always.  The river is still running like mad, so the kids had to stay in the little inlets near our campsite. 

North Fork trail cross-roads we passed on our
way to the mushroom covered hillside

 The highlight of this campout was the mushroom picking. 

 

We discovered a hillside where a small burn had occurred last summer, so the morel mushrooms where thick.  The sight of thick stands of wild mushrooms is not something that you see very often.

 The hike into the mushroom sight was very pleasant.  We drove to a trailhead and then hiked about a mile and half over several creek crossings and through some beautiful country.

 We are looking forward to at least one more trip to these mountains this year, but first we have many miles to cover all across Washington state.  

 

We love to read your comments, so please keep them coming!
