Skookum Flats — Saturday, Jan. 17, 2026

Mount Rainier Area > Chinook Pass - Hwy 410
Skookum Flats by Pnwtrailsandtails

Started from FR73. Trail was quiet on the way to the waterfall at 10 am, busier on the way back. We didn’t do the scramble since it was cold and we were worried about our kids getting too chilled. One section of the trail in the first 1/2 mile looks as though it will collapse, take care to stay away from the edge. I took a photo. Lost a children’s “Head” purple mitten please comment if you find it we’ll come back out for it.
