Silver Falls Loop — Monday, May. 25, 2009

Mount Rainier Area > SE - Cayuse Pass/Stevens Canyon

Silver Falls Loop is a great shorter family hike. Do it counter clockwise, starting at the parking area in Loop B of the campground. If you haven't been there before, walk a few feet uphill from the parking and take the connector trail towards the visitor center. The trail starts there. There is another trailhead at the end of Loop B, but you miss the hot springs. All bridges are in and in great shape. Especially the one put in last summer over Laughingwater Creek. Silver Falls is running high and loud. Perfect! There are blowdowns on both sides, everything is passable. A little bit of snow due to the insulation from the branches.
