Lord Hill Regional Park — Tuesday, Nov. 27, 2018

Puget Sound and Islands > Seattle-Tacoma Area

Had an unexpected day off, and was faced with a decision -  go shopping, or go hiking. Since your reading this, you know how that went...

The sun popped out briefly, so I hustled to the Viewpoint to soak it up. Looking up the valley, I could see Wallace Falls was raging. Might be a good one to consider this weekend. The clouds started rolling in, so I thought I would check out the Midway S. before the rain hit.

Lots of leaves in this section - I can see how someone could lose the trail. I will come back this week and at least brush the ferns, and that should help. Also came across a large blowdown that took quite a bit of work to clear. Unofficially, of course. ;)

In case you missed it, there was blue sky...
...and then a storm rolled in.
Water in the stream again. (Midway S.)
Did you find this trip report helpful?

Nice pics of the clouds! Is there more than one viewpoint with an actual view? We saw Mt Rainier but we couldn't see Wallace Falls. Yeah hiking wins, every time.

No, the viewpoint in the middle of the park is it. Believe me, I've tried to find another; and as you know, the "West View" has no view.
I've got a pic of Wallace Falls on my last report. It's only a tiny speck, and you have to have a clear day to see it. (You can also make out the clearcut above left.)
