Middle Fork Snoqualmie River — Monday, Jun. 25, 2007

Snoqualmie Region > North Bend Area

celebrated the big 40 with a hike to the middle fork with Karma Dog, Best Friend and Best Bud. All in all the trail is in good shape. At the first creek crossing there was a huge washout but there is a reroute to get to the other side, just look for it off to your right. there is also another reroute around a huge jumble of downed trees once again look for it to your right. the bugs were not to bad but there was a breeze so I'm thinking on a calm day they will be out in force. On thing to be well aware of is the bears, there have been numerous sightings of both bears and their scat on the trail. Keep up the chatter going through the berry patches that cover the trail in some spots. We were quiet going through one and we startled a yearling bear! The blow downs are not to bad and there is a bit of mud on the trail. It was a great day and when you go say "" hi"" and ""thanks"" to the earth corp kids out doing trail work, they are doing a great job.
