Lena Creek Falls from Upper Trail
There were over 100 cars at the TH when we arrived, but the trail never seemed crowded as we were hiking. We were passed by many climbers who were going to climb the Brothers on Sunday. Flowers seen on the lower trail were: 1 spotted coral root, Rhododendrons, star flowers, twinflowers, bear grass and Canadian Dogwood. We hiked about a mile on the trail to Upper Lena Lake. Only a few yards from the start of the trail to the upper lake we found some areas with wild ginger blooming. There were a few trees to be stepped over on the upper trail--probably 2 feet in diameter. After turning around we took the old trail to the bridge across Lena Creek where we had a late lunch beside the creek.
