Not much new to report here except that this was my second HaT hike with my in-laws. They enjoyed Hurricane Ridge so much last week that they requested another hike instead of a day trip to Seattle! We hiked to Four Stream. The trail beyond the rapids is a little overgrown and there are a few wet patches, but the trail is in good shape otherwise. The day started out misty and gray, but the sun broke through shortly after our arrival. The hordes began to arrive in the late afternoon, just as we were leaving. Be careful along the dirt road that leads into the campground area: lots of young people drive out to Lake Cushman to swim and party on sunny afternoons and evenings. They tend to drive way too fast; as such, the park rangers patrol the road.

Trail was in great condition and the weather was awesome today. Hiked this with my wife and 4 mo who hitched a ride in our Kelty kid pack. The trail is flat and very easy to walk on. Tons of opportunities for some really great photos. Just a few puddles on the trail here and there but nothing that regular shoes couldn't handle. This hike is great for anyone visiting the area because it's easy and you can't get lost. A vert straight forward out and back. Highly recommend this trail to anyone.

Terrific trail to take out of town guests on. Our second time on it with a couple months. Being July 4th, there were planty of other hikers, but not so many to ruin the experience. Fly fishermen were out in force and the weather was sunny with a nice breeze. Some wildflowers. But the trees and rapids steal the show!

The bridge is out, so this is no longer a loop hike. We walked the western side of what was the loop, and found no blowdowns but lots of muddy spots and puddles. It's still a lovely walk though.

At the beginning of the trail head you have the opportunity to veer off on a spur trail that will lead you to a huge uprooted cedar tree which is an excellent photo opportunity. The trail itself is a meandering path that aligns with the North Fork of the Skokomish River with varied terrain from a well used trail, to climbing boulders, to blow-downs, to previous rock slides, to burnt forest..etc..something for everyone. We highly recommend doing the loop trail and experiencing the new cable bridge. There are plenty of trails for beginners and experienced hikers alike. When we went, there was water on the trail and part of the original trail had been washed out with a permanent detour.
