24 miles of hiking • 3750' elevation gain •
Went with three friends from PortlandHikers, and had a terribly terrific time hiking close to 24 miles in the rain on this 33rd anniversary of MSH "big one." We started at Elk Creek campground just after 7:00am, and finished at Keenig Creek trailhead about 5:30pm, with numerous little side trips along the way. Saw lots of waterfalls, clouds, rock formations, nurse logs and stumps, amphibians and land mollusks, ferns and fungus, to name just a few. Great day in the woods!
