View of Buckhorn Pass Trail from the Mine tailings mound
Due to unexpected call to work and holiday traffic I finally made it to the trail head at 12:30. There was about 20 cars parked. On the gravel road getting to the trail there was two large rocks (small boulders) on the road but fortunately they were clear of the roadway.
My thermometer read 83º about mile in from the trail head. I was glad I brought four bottles of water since I was going at a pretty good pace to make up for lost time.
Not many flowers, mostly Rodies and they were past tense. Only hiked to the mined area where I found BUGS, or rather the mosquitoes found fresh blood. In the mines area there is a make shift camp ground where campers there advised Tull's canyon where the B29 crash is at was very buggy.
The trail continues on to Buckhorn pass. There is a small stream at the mines you can go across by balancing yourself across on rocks if the water level is not high.
Tubal Cain is about three hours from Olympia off Hwy 101 in Sequim, with about 45 minutes of that spent driving 22 miles on a gravel road from the hard top to the trail head. This is the same road used to get to the Dungeness Trail head.
