Ken went hiking August 19, 2012 8.5 miles 3,250 feet gained
What an incredible day! Absolutely beautiful, sun blazing, temps comfortable, and no one on the trail. Headed up Park Butte Trail to the upper junction with Scott Paul, doing a clockwise loop. Breathtaking views. Trail is in good shape but there is a challenging water crossing not long after the suspension bridge. Wound up wading across carrying Dibs. Force of water surprised me a bit but got across okay. Words cannot describe the wonders the eye can see (I would say eyes but I suffered a detached retina somewhere along the way so I could only see clearly out of my right eye). This is definitely a trip worth repeating.
