Cape Horn — Sunday, Jun. 9, 2019

Southwest Washington > Columbia River Gorge - WA
Could have been much worse. The trooper was friendly.

PSA: If you are traveling into the Gorge along SR14 on the Washington side, be aware that there is a construction zone with a 40 mph speed limit in the Camas/Washougal area. And if you happen to get stuck behind someone driving 38 mph on that stretch of highway, try not to get frustrated—that person probably got a ticket earlier that morning and doesn’t want to take any chances on the way home. Just sayin’.  

Anyway, the trail is in its full late-spring glory, with abundant columbine and other flowers in bloom. I got to the trailhead a little later than expected (see above) but the crowds had not arrived yet. It’s usually pretty quiet if you get there before 10:00.
