It was a beautiful sunny day to enjoy this hike. Only car at the trailhead at 9am. The trail stars off splendidly, along the way there are muddy spots so boots would be recommended. Saw a pair of ducks and saw the beaver dams but no beavers. had a great rest at the trail end at the river with an awesome view. on the way back, took a side trail that lead to a USGS water survey shed then walked along the river before returning. Would also recommend driving the rest of the mountain loop highway to granite falls though it does mean you're not able to stop at the awesome coffee/book store in darrington.
