Tatoosh Ridge

This was our first venture to Gifford Pinchot National Forest. We got a late start and arrived around 2pm. We were glad to have read earlier posts about the road condition and echo that a high clearance vehicle is a must. The trail is very well sign-posted (an addition since the trail description perhaps). There is a registration station and space to park along the road. The maples had turned a lovely shade of yellow and higher up on the trail we saw the last remaining wildflowers. The meadows were spectacular in shades of yellow, orange and red. We didn't have time to reach the ridge, but the hike was wonderful anyway. We did not see anyone else.
