It was a lovely day for a trail run along the Duckabush! I parked around 10am, went a bit past Fivemile Camp, then took a dip in the river before turning around and returning to the trailhead before 1:30pm.
Despite it being a hot day, there’s ample shade along this trail (the exception being the Little Hump/Big Hump portions). I saw lots of ripe berries, especially thimbleberries and salmonberries. Also, there was no smoke or haze from the Bear Gulch fire. I’ve read trip reports about the smoke nearer to Mt Ellinor, but you’d never know there was a wildfire in the area based on conditions today.
