Arrived by 10 am after a long drive from Seattle. Just a few cars by the trailhead. Hiked up to Hardy Falls viewpoint and the Upper Rodney Falls. Be sure to stop by the Pool of the Winds. Continue to go up the switch backs. Nice rocks formations with good view of the Gorge. Went to the summit with no one around, so I practiced some Tai Chi up there! A couple from Portland came up later. We walked down to the Saddle and the Equestrian Trail together. We used the Hardy Creek Trail to return back to the parking. A pleasant day trip. Just a few people on the trail today. Some nice wildflowers as the other reporter has mentioned.
