Truman Trail - Pumice Plains — Saturday, May. 17, 2014

South Cascades > Mount St. Helens

Three of us set out at 11am (it was a sluggish morning for us all!) starting at Johnston Ridge Observatory. We absolutely could not keep a pace going because we stopped every 5-10 minutes to take pictures or just observe the scenery. Every turn gave you a completely different view of the area. Those afraid of heights should take note of the Elbow portion of the trail, after that it's flat terrain through the Pumice Plains. We plan to get a MUCH earlier start next time, so we can go even further. NO SHADE AT ALL- plan ahead for water, sun exposure/protection, and over heating.
