Indian Creek, Glacier Peak Circumnavigation — Wednesday, Aug. 11, 2021

The USFS has now replaced the washed out log bridge across Indian Creek at mile 2 except for guard rails so there is no need to ford the very fordable river.  The description of this hike is very accurate. The trail is hard to follow in many places beyond mile 4-5 (the countless blow downs seem to be disproportionately at sites where the trail direction changes adding to the challenges). There are quite a lot of bugs in the hard to navigate regions, adding to frustration of not being able to move on quickly.  Unless this gets some maintenance soon it will be on the same trajectory as the White River Trail.  I came down this at the end of a Glacier Peak circumnavigation and it made me glad that I went counterclockwise because this would have been an unpleasant trail to ascend.
