11.6 miles of hiking • 3000' elevation gain •
This was the first day of a 10 day vacation, and being Friday, we decided to stay in Washington to avoid the Portland rush hour traffic. The weather was a bit warm, but it was a cloudy day so it cut down on the direct sun. The grasses were quite long and we were constantly brushing them aside while on the trail. In fact, the grasses were so high, on the downhill portion of the trail before the bridge, that the trail was completely covered. Thankfully, there were no ticks! A fantastic day of hiking on a wonderful trail!
