Tahoma Creek Suspension Bridge - Emerald Ridge Loop — Tuesday, Jul. 20, 2021

We camped at Lake George and went out to the end of Emerald Ridge as a day hike, following the South Puyallup trail and then on to Emerald Ridge instead of going left over river up to St Andrews.  The trail was clear but not easy, not only because of steady elevation gain, but also very rocky.  We want to alert hikers that about 2/3 of the way up from trailhead on S Puyallup starting point, there is a dangerous washout right above the river/glacier wash with a BIG drop off.  People created a way trail workaround that was dusty but passable.  If you do this with a full pack (for ex if you are coming over from Devil's Dream or doing Wonderland trail) BE CAREFUL at this spot. The view of Tahoma Glacier and Columbia Crest from the end of Emerald Ridge are terrific and worth the slog up there.
