Glimpse of the high country through the clouds
Having had to turn around because of a washout on the Lower Dungeness Trail, we decided to check out the Tubal Cain Trail since we still had some daylight left. About 1 mile (?) from crossing the bridge over the Dungeness River there is a washout on the road which we don't believe a low clearance vehicle could drive over because of a hump in the middle. Our truck had no problem continuing to the TH at 3300 feet. There was no snow on the road. We hiked to 3800 feet where we turned around because of encroaching darkness--probably a little over 1 mile. The elevation gain is so gradual that one hardly feels the gain! The trail was in excellent condition with no snow. There are many rhododendron lining the trail and these will be beautiful in spring. At our turn around spot there was a stump which had more British Soldier Lichen than we had ever seen in one place! This is my favorite macro plant so this was a highlight for me! :)!
