Conboy Lake National Wildlife Refuge

Spent a wonderful day at this somewhat remote national wildlife refuge. Located on the southern side of Mt Adams (great views of the volcano) in Washington State. There is an easy 2 mile hike along the recovering marsh and wooded area. Lots of bird life - migrating sandhill cranes stop here on their journey.

There is an amazing success story here. Riley, Adam and the other members of the team have been successful in the recovery of the endangered oregon spotted frog. The populations of the frog at this location have almost fully recovered. It is worth spending a little time in the small visitor center chatting with the biologists.
