Flaming Geyser State Park — Thursday, Mar. 19, 2009

Puget Sound and Islands > Seattle-Tacoma Area

On a drizzly day, was hoping to do a late winter hike at Flaming Geyser State Park with my daughter. Stopped first at the geyser--basically a tiny little 6-inch flame in the ground, not much to speak of. Unfortunately, the two trails here, both the short loop to Bubbling Geyser, and the longer trail out to the gorge, are closed due to washouts. Tape was strung across the trail with no trespassing signs, so we didn't push any further. So we just enjoyed a picnic and I watched the birds and Matilda made mud pies on the shore of the Green River.
