Cinnamon Trail — Thursday, May. 28, 2020

Our group hoped for a longer day on the trail but ultimately were defeated by snow. Navigating the first 4 miles was straightforward. Although there were many trees and branches down, mostly early on, the trail is easy to follow. We lost it for a while as snow covered the final crossing of the road, and then found it again only to lose it further down in the gully. There are no discernible tree tags on this section of this trail, in lieu of potentially getting our group lost we opted to turn around. There are points of the trail that open up to views of St. Helens, Adams and Rainier. Much of the trail has tree cover, which made hiking on the hot day more bearable. Unfortunately the map at the beginning of the trail doesn't show the road crossings, which would have been helpful for navigation.
