Candy Point Trail — Saturday, Oct. 14, 2017

Central Washington > Grand Coulee

Overnight work party with the WTA, spent a long time make the creek easier to cross, clearing rock slides, rebuilding rock walls, doing tread improvements, and myriad other tasks.

Totally worth it -- the hike is a steep and slightly difficult one with some hazardous loose stones / switchbacks and steep rock stairs where footing can be difficult, but the view from the top is incredible.  I don't think you'll find a better view of the Dam and surrounding landscape than this spot.

Yellow jackets were all over, though a bit sleepy from the cold, and a team member saw a rattlesnake in the rocks.  So, pay attention and keep an eye out for safety.
