The condition of this trail is better than any other I have seen in the Olympics or Cascades. It is absolutely pristine; no obstacles, nicely graded, solid new-ish looking bridges, good signage, many benches. Just lovely.
We parked at little lot right outside campground gate. Bathrooms are clean and stocked.
Took clockwise loop to overlook of Lake Cushman. We saw a few other people on trail throughout the day and had most of it to ourselves, including lunch from the overlook. Rhodies are beautiful, though past their flowering prime. Heard or saw some lovely birds including Hammond's Flycatcher, Downy Woodpecker, Swainson's Thrush, American Robin, Common Raven. Look forward to my next visit.
