Hiking on a weekday is fantastic since I only saw one person all day. This trail has lots of trees blown down across it so a lot of climbing under, over and around down trees is required to hike this trail but still its well worth it. The East Fork of the Foss River is raging and made for a fantastic hike today. Lots of overgrowth as well but trail is still easy to find. I did not make it to the lakes of Jade, Emerald and Opal which is the end of the designated trail but it was not my plan since recent reports still show them frozen over. Check out the videos of this hike or over 350 other hikes I have done in Washington State on my youtube channel "lmm3181" or click on the direct links below for this hike. I hiked in about 5 miles and turned around and came back out. All and all a great day for a hike!
As always get out and see this beautiful state and enjoy your hiking!
Take Care,
Mike
