I figured I drove all the way out here, I might as well go for another hike. These 2 were right up the road. I did about .5 mile (500') of Sulphur Mountain, got tired and went up Suiattle (pronounced SOO-attle) River trail. Both trails in good shape, many creeks and waterfalls on the latter.
Went about 5 miles (1 hour 40) up, didn't hit snow. At 2 miles the trail crew has dug some crawl-unders where logs have taken out the trail. Maybe they're not done but it's pretty tough - and muddy.
You can really get a good walk in on this already, with more warm, snow-melting weather on the way! Of course, didn't see anyone on either of my hikes today.

I was at Sulphur Creek today and probably just missed you.
I heard there was a landslide on the Suiattle Trail at 2 miles. You mention that logs took out the trail. Was it a landslide or just some fallen trees?

What is the road like? Do you think Sulfur is attainable or too steep and deep yet?
