We continue along the Bellefields Loop to see black cottonwood, cascara and Oregon ash; these are joined by the ubiquitous red alder and a wide variety of shrubs and herbs. Some species that bloom into late fall include foamflower, American speedwell, nodding beggar's tick and big-leaved avens. We will also keep an eye out for some of the100 species of birds and mammals that inhabit this park.
