Hello. Back on the trail with seven other senior hikers today, up to Ollalie. My last trip here was in November ‘24 and Ollalie was frozen and I needed microspikes on the trail. Not today, mid 80s and warm from the TH.
We all got a parking spot at the TH today a Wednesday. Still lots of hikers up here. Privy is open (wasn’t in November) but no toilet paper. The road up is bumpy and I’m glad to have had my 4Runner.
This trail is dusty now but generally pleasant.
Some swimmers at Talapus and some at Ollalie. But we went past the first spot at Ollalie to the second or third spot and our large group of eight had the space to ourselves for lunch.
Left the TH at 10:20 and returned at 2:20. Traffic was bad and there was huge backups in both directions east of exit 45 and west around 436th a huge terrible accident. Yikes.
I think I’ll go back when it’s less busy and snowy and visit Ollalie again…MJB
