We hiked this today with our ten month old yellow lab Izzy, It was a training hike for next year for all of us. There was no one on the trial. Two trees across the trail. The ranger said that they may work on that today. Most of the large trees were cedar and that made the hike special. To walk through a grove and smell the cedar was really cool. There were a few red huckleberries on a few bushes. We did not see any chanterelle mushrooms but didn’t venture off trail.
We started the at the Maple Valley trail head in the campground where Hikers and bicyclist can camp. We connected with the Steam Donkey trail and ended our loop back at the campground access road. There were plenty of signs to follow. We ended up at the Dosewallips River by the Day Use area across the road watching the salmon spawn. It was a great day. Pretty easy for us as we are out of shape. Anyone can hike this trail.
