Trip Report
Flaming Geyser State Park — Friday, Dec. 4, 2015
Puget Sound and Islands > Seattle-Tacoma Area
We went about a week and a half ago and was pleasantly surprised with a gorgeous view blanketed in heavy frost and ice. It was cold, but not overly so, and the roads were very clear. The surrounding area was gorgeous. The trail itself was well marked and easy to follow. The first half mile or so is a very steep zig-zag of an incline heading high up into the trees, seemingly towards the sky. A hiker and his dog passed us with no problems, but I had to stop multiple times to catch my breath. After what felt like forever to my calves, we seemed to reach a summit of sorts where the trail just leveled out a bit and continued on.
It was a pleasant walk in the woods. The hiker who passed us was no where within sight or sound distance. It was like we were all alone on the trail, hidden among the quiet of the trees and frost all around. It was a serene feeling and a very relaxing place to walk. Just what we were looking for.
