We hiked this trail to the views of Packwood Lake with Mt Rainier behind as described in the South Cascades / Olympics 100 Hikes. The view is spectacular once the trail leaves trees (peek-a-boo views of Adams are available during the first mile, too), but otherwise the trail is fairly humdrum and the bugs-to-flowers ratio was tilted in favor of bugs. Several blowdowns beyond about 2 miles up the trail, though none difficult to get around or over.
