Out of Darrington a bit over 2 miles past Beaver Lake TH on the R, signed. This used to connect with Beaver Lake Trail before a slide knocked out the bridge.
Looking back in the Reports I mostly worked on this earlier this year, trail is in great shape. I clipped some today, could almost walk as I worked, it was that good. One little part before the river needed some time spent.
At the river I considered crossing and going over to the Beaver Lake Trail, as I have done before. But I didn't have a towel and didn't want to have wet feet the rest of the day.
I heard something behind me, spawning salmon! Hoping to get a picture I crossed the channel to get closer. They must have seen me coming, swam out of sight before I could get a shot.
Now that my feet were wet I walked across the sandy bank and back over to the Beaver Lake Trail. Channel on this side is only about knee deep, other one is less. The trail is getting overgrown since not being used in a few years, I went to the broken bridge but didn't see anyone on the other side. 40 minutes back to my car.
First stop of the day I added some traction to the slippery log bridge on the Frog Lake Trail up the street.
