Truman Trail - Pumice Plains — Monday, Jun. 20, 2016

South Cascades > Mount St. Helens

drove from seattle-- FR-25 and 99 arent too bad, we made it in a kia rio. the trailhead (windy ridge to truman trail) is at the opposite side of the lot as the observatory. weather was great, made it almost to loowit falls. as you get down in the pumice plains keep an eye out for your trail, its thin and easy to lose...but luckily there are many cairns to direct you....especially look out when you are crossing the mini-stream. wildflowers are amazing....this is the time to go. i imagine this hike gets really hot (no shade) later in the summer. we saw 1 deer, 2 chipmunks, a pile of elk droppings, and 2 other humans on the trail.
