Little Mashel Falls - Bud Blancher Trail — Saturday, Apr. 29, 2023

Mount Rainier Area > SW - Longmire/Paradise
Middle falls

Saturday morning, 10am, I think we were the last car in the parking lot before they started lining down the side parallel parking. The start of the hike is flat, compact gravel that a road bike could go on, meandering along some properties in the sun. Then it starts up like a regular hike. We visited the lower, middle, and some upper falls. The lower falls had muddy stairs that we didn't go down, and the upper part was quite muddy as well. Many people with dogs, kids, families, etc. There were a couple of fallen trees to walk over or under, but no big obstacles.
