Chris went backpacking March 15 to March 16, 2013 8 miles 500 feet gained 1 night
Another quick overnighter, this time to Siouxon Creek. 1hr 20 min from door to trailhead. Got the green light from weekend_warrior that the road hump was snow free. As always, this one's a winner—without a doubt the best creek hike in the area.
Got in around 3p, hiked about 4 miles out to the slick waterfall before the bridge to Chinook falls. That thing is always a chore to get across, so, running short on daylight, I called it and headed back toward the more established camp sites. Tried to get a fire started, but even with a few tricks up my sleeve everything was just too wet.
Sierra Nevada IPA, a few owls whoing, and rain in the morning. Not a bad way to spend an evening.
