Back to one of my favorite trails. Falls are amazing and lunch on Lunch Rock is a must.
We arrived at the trailhead at about 9 a.m. on a beautiful sunny Wednesday morning. Still tons of parking available in the main lot. I even remembered to bring my Northwest Forest Pass. Bathrooms are better than average.
It was pretty warm and muggy on the way up and the bugs started before the turn off for the falls. They weren't biting, but just a bit annoying. Annoying enough that we stopped and pulled out the bug spray and that helped alot.
With the temperature likely to hit at least the mid 80s, we debated skipping the falls since we'd all been there before, but we decided to tough it out. We also wanted to check out the great new rock staircase that WTA finished last week. Stairs look great. Falls never disappoint.
Back to the main trail and up to the lake. Trail is in great shape. Rocky as ever and lots of stairs. We hardly saw anyone on the way up. There were two groups of 4 on Lunch Rock when we stopped there for lunch. Then my daughter went for a swim and we headed back.
Another great day in the woods. We were all glad for the drinks we left in the ice cooler when we got back to the car. Only complaint is Zeke's is closed on Tuesday/Wednesday so we weren't able to get our favorite Huckleberry Frozen Lemonade on the way home.
