White Pass to Chinook Pass, Eastside Trail, Naches Peak Loop, Silver Falls Loop & Three Lakes via Laughingwater Creek — Thursday, Jun. 11, 2015

South Cascades > White Pass/Cowlitz River Valley
Rainier from the PCT

I did a loop starting on the PCT at Chinook Pass. I took the PCT down to Laughingwater Creek trail, then west on Laughingwater Creek towards Three Lakes and eventually Silver Falls. From there I picked up the Eastside Trail heading north all the way back to Hwy 410, where I did a quick jaunt around Tipsoo Lake before returning to my car. All of the aforementioned trails are snow-free and in good condition. Perhaps a half-dozen blowdowns the entire day. Wildflowers are just starting to bloom. It was beautiful out there!
