This is my second trip to High Rock this spring, with success this time. The north approach roads, FS-84 and FS-8440, are snow free to Towhead Gap. The majority of the roads are in good shape, although no road work has been done yet and there are some very large potholes and downed trees to go around. Pick your mode of transportation accordingly. The trail is snow free and in good condition; only one blow down on the trail. The lookout is not open. The first part of the trail is through a field of Bear Grass in full bloom. The sweet fragrance was so strong that I could smell it even with a bad cold.
Picture #1: High rock and Mt Rainier. Picture #2: Looking down the slab at the shelter.
