Cape Horn — Friday, Aug. 20, 2021

This is a beautiful loop hike, and I plan on visiting again.  The trailhead convenient and easy to reach, with plenty of parking if you arrive in the morning.  Most hikers seem to go counter-clockwise on the trail or make it a there-and-back hike, but I went clockwise and am glad for it.  The trail is getting encroached upon by Himalayan Blackberries at the start, but most the blackberries have been pushed back.  After a short jaunt under HWY 14, there's a road walk for a bit, but you get a great view of the Cape Horn bridge from below.  The trailhead is easy to miss, but once you're on it, you'll have no issue.  There are several scree fields to cross, so bringing trekking poles to help balance is very useful!  Go to all the scenic outlooks, if you skip them you'll miss out.
