Dosewallips State Park - Steam Donkey Trail — Saturday, May. 31, 2025

I parked across the highway at the day-use lot and walked up the fire road until I found the trail. Once I passed the Izett Grade Trail crossing I started seeing bridges, streams, and waterfalls. The trail dead ends at the fire road, but then you can go down the road 50 yards and take the Maple Valley trail back to the campground. I suspect that it would be easy to lose the trail at night so watch the time. There were 5 blow-down trees over the trails. I saw one family with small kids near the campground entrance and the toddler was screaming and didn’t want to go on. To be fair, this is not really a trail for tiny kids. The trail was clear but the understory was almost grown over the path, and everything was wet, so I was glad to be wearing rain gear.
