Wonderful hike of solitude & spectacular views!
I’ve added a 5min video link of hike highlights below..
Forest Road: lots of potholes first mile to bridge; washboard and rocky sections afterwards but fewer potholes
Trail: awkward 18”diameter log across trail tough to bypass - GPS location 47.37023, -121.44110
Wildflowers: Canada goldenrod and fireweed along road; a few pearly everlasting and beardtongue along trail
Wildlife: butterflies, hawks and Jets from Lewis McChord Base :-)
Berries: blueberries ripe very soon
Crowds: no one at all until I got back to trailhead; 3 friendly hikers met there.
