Skookum Flats — Sunday, Oct. 29, 2000

Mount Rainier Area > Chinook Pass - Hwy 410

I only hiked 2 miles or so from the lower trailhead. trail is in excellent condition with lots of mushrooms in the darker sections. Saw one mushroom that was dark, dark purple, almost black. Lots of mushrooms that look like pancakes on stalks. A few patches of old-growth forest remain. this will be a great winter hike.
