Hummocks Trail

While the day started out cloudy and chilly, I was optimistic that the skies would clear. While it remained chilly the skies did clear. My destination today was the Hummocks Trail near Mt. St. Helens. I hiked the trail counter-clockwise. That way, if I wanted to add some distance when I reached the Boundary Trail Junction, I could easily do so. The trail was in good condition. There were several wildflowers, especially Indian Paintbrush. There no insects to content with. I was the only one on the trail. When I approached the Boundary Trail junction I followed that trail for about an additional half mile. It was a nice hike in a beautiful and unique area. The photo is of the Toutle River and hummocks. I was intrigued with the colors.
