Union Creek — Sunday, Aug. 25, 2013

Mount Rainier Area > Chinook Pass - Hwy 410
This was the largest ant hill seen in the area and was actually on the Mesatchee Creek Trail. I didn't take a picture of the many large ant hills we saw in the 0.25 mile we walked on the Union Creek Trail.
The bridge is out at 0.25 mile. The water level is low so one could wade across. There is a good log to walk for those who have no fear of walking logs! Sad to say for Bob I am not in that group! We spent 2 hours and walked 2 miles trying to find the trail by walking on the other side of Union Creek. We were not successful. I would like to return with my Tevas to wade the creek and hike to the falls! There were many very large ant hills in this short section of trail and every 10-20 feet there were parades of ants crossing the trail!
