Mazama Park via Ridley Creek — Saturday, Jul. 10, 2021

We were able to cross MF Nooksack about 1/4 mile upstream from the washed-out bridge on a fallen log and stump. The dog was carried across this. The river was running high and fast and did not seem safe to ford.

The trail to Mazama park featured a long section of large windfall which added difficulty to the hike.

We camped at the park. About half of the tent sites were already taken by groups that had come from Schreiber's side. The pit toilet at Mazama park is very full and needs to be re-dug.

We checked out the Elbow Lake trail before deciding to take Ridley Ck. That crossing would also have been difficult to ford, although it looks like a WTA crew was out working on that trail and had setup a handline.
