CCC Road: Blowout Creek Trailhead — Saturday, Jun. 19, 2021

Hiked this one today with the family and pup. Parked at the Oxbow Loop trailhead and walked back down the road roughly .2 miles to the blue gate. Note that the gate is now blocked with cones and there is no parking available, hence the choice to use the Oxbow lot. Trail is in great shape. The first stream crossing on the log isn’t bad. Our 13 and 11 year old had no issues, and our 40lb pup walked across. The second stream crossing was a little tricky. You need to walk across the lower log while holding on to the upper log. Worked for the wife and kids, but I managed to slip and take a knee deep bath. Keep an eye out at that crossing. Rest of trail was fun, no major elevation gains and very clean. The 11 year old must have eaten a pound of salmon berries on the hike. On the trail from 10:30am to 2:30pm with a few breaks and lunch. Clocked in at roughly 7.7 miles and 800’ of gain. Passed a total of 14 people on the trail. Great hike!
