Features: A long trail with muddy sections at
the start and at the top. Trail is in excellent condition with most
windfalls cut by Forest Service crews. The lower trail through tall
cedar-hemlock coastal forest is beautiful with a fairy-story charm.
The upper sections are swampy and cross an old burned area. Many wild
flowers. This trail is for hikers with stamina for the long hike..
Plan on an early start and a long day. No views until timberline. |
