Lake Elizabeth — Sunday, Aug. 23, 2020

We headed up here on our way out of Money Creek Campground Sunday morning. The road is mostly in fine shape, typical Forest Service road. There is one repaired washout spot about one mile before the lake that is a bit sketchy for vehicles with low ground clearance. We did not go beyond Lake Elizabeth, so can't comment on the road conditions beyond this trail head. As the description states, this trail is mostly rough and not maintained. The bridge at the Money Creek outlet is definitely tilted downstream in a sketchy way, especially if it were wet. Parts of the trail were fine, others were VERY overgrown with Salmon Berry, some Devil's Club, ferns, etc. The section close to the trail head on the side opposite Money Creek was VERY wet - needed to change shoes back at the vehicle. Lots of ripe berries, though, so we were still happy to have taken the long drive up the road to get here on a beautiful, sunny day. Mosquitoes were not too bad, but I could see them being worse at different times of the day/year. Not a lot of other folks around, so overall a nice walk with some pretty views.
