We arrived at the trailhead around 10:30am and the parking lot was nearly empty. Most of the trailheads all the way out were pretty empty, as a matter of fact. I was pleasantly surprised to see the outhouse and trash were clean and taken care of despite funding cuts (GO PARK RANGERS! ❤️). This is your friendly reminder to buy your annual park passes to help support park rangers and the areas we love to hike in!
The trail today was stunning. No issues on the trail, except for one bridge that may have gotten broken by a fallen tree but is still easily crossable. There were TONS of caterpillars and banana slugs out on the trail, so watch your step.
We only hiked 4.23 miles round trip today because I'm rehabilitating my sprained ankle, which did really well! This was a great hike for that. We got back to the parking lot around 1pm and I enjoyed soaking my feet in the river before heading home.
