The Way Creek Trail provides access to some nice uncrowded, Teanaway mountain country. Blowdowns have been removed and the tread is in remarkably nice shape, once you get beyond the initial, miserably steep jeep road section. The trail is technically open to motorbikes, but few seem to try it, probably due to the wheel-unfriendly steep sidehills that the trail traverses. Great flowers are out now...lupine, indian paintbrush and many others.
I proceeded as far as the Koppen Mountain/Jungle Creek trail junction. The Koppen Mountain trail is virtually unmaintained and can be difficult to follow.
Snow is gone completely. No other hikers were seen on the trail Sunday.
