Mount Spokane State Park - Trail 130 — Monday, Aug. 6, 2018

I recently did my first WTA work party at Mount Spokane State Park Trail 130. The condition of this trail is being actively worked on. The trail is mostly clear for foot traffic but our group was working towards widening the path with tread work by removing grass and brush, installing drain dips and clearing branches with pruning poles to help make the corridor open for taller trail users (i.e. horseback and bike riders). The path is not completely done and work on this trail will continue over the next month. There were scattered wildflowers blooming. Ripened huckleberries along side the path and the views at the open clearing were beautiful but smoky. Nice tree shade throughout most of the hike. Elevation change is gradual. Bees and gnats were bothersome.
