Sunday proved to be a lovely day for a mellow hike in Shevlin Park. We started on the lower part of the Railroad trail continued onto the Shevlin Loop where we able to spot the active eagles’ nest on the opposing ridge. Then, crossing the third bridge, we continued along the ridge above the creek. We managed to stay mainly in the shady parts. Wild rose, penstemon, buckwheat and others were in bloom.
