Nice easy hike, not too crowded.

Pretty and easy hike. Should be on "The Creeky Knees Guide" book. Took my 5mo old in a Baby Bjorn carrier and my 3yr old walked. Cooler day and only two others or so on the trail which was nice. 

Took advantage of yesterday's beautiful weather to take in two quick hikes: Ranger Hole and Murhut Falls. Only about three miles of road separates the two trailheads. The road to Ranger Hole is paved. From there, asphalt gives way to gravel and a few potholes, but any car can manage the drive to Murhut Falls without difficulty. 

There is an outhouse at Ranger Hole. Fully functioning, aside from one minor detail: there's no lock on the door. But a sign on the door reminds people to knock before they enter.

At Ranger Hole, the interpretive trail is worth the very quick detour. The old fishing hole makes for a nice picnic spot. There are about three or four overviews of the hole, each easily accessible from the trail. One faces the southwest and makes for a warm picnic spot. 

Murhut Falls Trail starts on a boring decommissioned logging road but quickly gives way to a more scenic hiking trail. The air cools noticeably the last few hundred feet as you approach the falls, which right now are glorious.

We saw all of four people: a father and son at the first hike and a friendly older couple with their dog at the second hike. Otherwise, we had both hikes to ourselves. Well worth the drive.

As usual, Gibson took photos and I shot video (see below).

Beautiful hike!

Beautiful trip.
