Dosewallips State Park - Maple Valley Loop — Thursday, Sep. 5, 2024

Well kept trail through beautiful, lush forest. Fortunately, I didn't encounter many blackberries as the previous hike reported. Creeks were dry so bugs were minimal.

I did understand the hike guide to indicate immediately going downhill after crossing the road at the metal gate, but the trail ascended further before the decent began. Maybe I took a different route back??
