Started out at about 10 am. parking at a pullout, the parking area was closed. Following a gentle slope which soon flattened out and became a walk through the beautiful old growth forest on a trail that was in excellent condition although the trail was last maintained in 2012, according to the Forest Service. However, there were about 10 large trees across the trail that needed to be either climbed over, ducked under or walked around; coupled with two stream crossings where you may get your feet a little wet. Hiked in about 4 miles and had lunch on the Downey Creek and headed back. Beautiful day and the greens of the forest were magnificent.
