This is the 4.2 mile hike off of FR73. Stay left until the bridge. Parking lot for 8 cars on your right. A few potholes getting there, but manageable. There is a bathroom available at trailhead but not the best, so bring TP and sanitizer just in case. Skookum Flats trail is clear of all but one blowdown and the one that remains is easy to navigate around. A little bit of snow remains but nothing impassable. This is a beautiful walk through the woods. Moss and towering old growth, a beautiful view of the river and a diverse forest landscape make this the perfect leg stretch. Well behaved dogs welcome and this is not a busy trail at all. Gorgeous light and solitude.
