Sowder Farm Hikes

June 3rd : Off to Yakima to do a little hiking. Took the canyon road into Selah. Did a little walking around the hood and had a good dinner and catch up with Larry and Jane.
June 4th : John showed around 9:00 ready to go for our hike. Rich and the kids showed up around 9:30 So we were off to do the Cowiche  “canyon that  is” Started on the rim and worked our way down into the canyon. It was well worth the effort of a 5mi hike. The weather was perfect and all in all it was great fun. That after noon we jumped in Jane’s car and headed up to Nachese “Wow what beautiful country” At Whistling Jacks we decided to head up Big bolder caves” This was a short beautiful hike into the cave. Which was formed by a lava tube. Unfortunately we did not have flash lights But were able to go in using John’s flashlight app on his phone and an occasional flash from my camera. We made it in until it was darker than anything I had ever experienced and walked into a wall. That was the time to head back out
June 5th: Headed home to Seattle.
I am ready to go back and do it all again.
