Mount Margaret — Saturday, Aug. 8, 2020

South Cascades > Mount St. Helens
Arrived at the trailhead around 10am Saturday and there were only a couple spots left in the parking lot. FYI the road is paved mostly all the way, we didn’t encounter any road closures and there’s a bathroom at the trailhead.
Took two hours, 40 minutes to reach the submit. The incline is steep on the way up but doable. There is one sketchy-ish part where it looks like there was a small rock slide and the trail is quite narrow and definitely wouldn’t be kid-friendly. But overall, it's fine and good for all abilities. Wildflowers were in full bloom, and the views are great. The entire thing is exposed, so pack a hat. 

We ate lunch at the summit, and it took about the same time to get back to the car. The parking lot had largely cleared out by then.
