Each year, I have to do at least one post on the varying moods of Icy Creek in the Green River Gorge. It's typically very lush even in the middle of summer, but this year, it's really green and the creek is flowing strong.
Because of it's location on the shaded east side of the river. there are plenty of areas that get very little sun year round.
We should call it Fernville.
Even foxgloves eke out an existence in areas that seldom see sun.
The Green River continues to flow at relatively high levels given all the snow melt. A great spot for wading in hot weather later in the summer.
For those not familiar, this is the site of salmon rearing ponds used just prior to juveniles' release into the river. Currently empty this day, but we should expect to see the ponds full later in the season.
For directions to the trailhead and more of the sights, follow this link to my earlier post Hiking to Icy Creek.
