Union Creek — Tuesday, Jun. 20, 2017

Mount Rainier Area > Chinook Pass - Hwy 410
Lower Union Cr falls

The Yakima Cascadians hiked the Union Creek trail heading for Crown Point. At about 4500' there was intermittent snow on the trail then it cleared as we neared Cement Cr. We crossed about 40 downed trees, none were show stoppers but they did slow us down. After lunch at Cement Cr we decided to head back and did not get to Crown Point. A beautiful day!

We accessed the trail via the cabins, did not use the first bridge.

Thank you so much for the response! We actually tried to find the trail via the cabins the first and only time we tried to hike to the falls, but being new to the area we decided it best not to venture too far as we didn't have a GPS with us!
