Second day driving up to the Cushman area from Olympia, this time to try a new hike with a friend.
Normally when I drive past here the parking lot is packed (and it was with the nice weather yesterday), but arriving at 9:30 today and there were like 6 cars total. Of to a good start!
The trail is in lovely shape. Not a lot of mud, zero snow, and no blowdowns anywhere. Lot of water to be had everywhere. As my friend commented: the waterfalls of the Olympics “just hit different”, and I have to agree.
Also great was the floral life. So many ferns everywhere, tons of moss, and trees.
Weather was fine, a bit cold, windy and light drizzle but nothing unmanageable.
