Made a longer loop today by extending our trip to Garfield Ledge via the Middlefork Connector. A great day to be out!
CCC is in wonderful shape, only noticed one hanging overhead tree that really should be taken out. All the rad log furniture is in place for your break along the river on the connector trail. Getting over to the beginning of the ledge trail is a short walk across the bridge over the Taylor River. The way up to the viewpoint is simple and straight forward, easily done by most at the light elevation gain and short mileage.
On the return trip we opted to cut through the Middlefork Campground. Can't really ask for a nicer spot if you want to car camp. Pretty quiet overall, saw half a dozen others between the ledge and on the end of the CCC headed back. I can't really overstate how beautiful and lush this portion of CCC is, never a disappointment.
