Pulled into the large, but mostly empty parking lot at 10am. Checked out the viewpoint at the eastern corner of the recreation area before heading off along the Rim Trail. The Rim Trail was in good condition, just a bit muddy in a few places.
The River Trail started with a gravel road, but turned into mud at the bottom of the valley. The mud was compact, but there were quite a few large puddles (and a few smaller blowdowns as well). Turned around where we would have had to ford Scatter Creek.
Wildflowers: Trillium, Bleedingheart, Salmonberry, Skunk Cabbage...
Encountered two parties on the Rim Trail, none on the River Trail.
