Beaver Lake — Tuesday, Jul. 5, 2022

Fellow foragers take note-- there are huge amounts of wild strawberries at the trailhead. Plump, ripe, ready to eat. There's also salmonberry ripe along trail, but in lesser amounts. We saw a pair of western tiger swallowtails flitting about and a California tortoiseshell as well!

This hike took us 45 minutes to reach the viewpoint where the trail concludes-- the bridge is still out. The view is of a red-soiled swampy area. There are a few steps cut into logs that are sideways and challenging to maneuver. It's slippery and muddy!
