We thought we'd do 2 miles of Scatter Lake Trail, since the Forest Service indicated snow at 2 miles in. But we misread a trail sign and headed toward Slate Creek Trail on the Twisp River Trail #440. And this turned out to be just fine. It was an easy hike through new terrain for us. A few creek crossings, one blow down that required a side trip through the brush and lots of song birds welcoming us to the woods after many months away. Total miles hiked: 4.5 as we turned around at the fourth creek crossing.
I spotted a western tanager mating pair, what a treat!
