The footbridge across the Nisqually River
We started at the small parking area on the right up about 2 miles from Longmire and just before Cougar Rock Camp Ground road. It's 1.1 miles to Carter Falls from here and 2.7 miles to Narada Falls. You quickly reach the sturdy footbridge across the Nisqually. The trail is easy to follow and in good shape. There are small patches of snow as you get close to Carter Falls. The 700 feet to Madcap Falls has a bit more snow but is worth it. After that there is even more snow, it's melting fast and had us post holing so we decided not to got farther.

I used my pole to clear a small clog that was forcing water on the trail.
