Marmot Pass via Upper Dungeness River Trail, Lower Dungeness River & Royal Basin via Royal Lake — Saturday, Nov. 15, 2008

The many varieties and abundance of mushrooms along the first mile of the Dungeness Trail made for VERY slow walking because of all the images made! There were British Soldiers, Goatsbeard, and many others we couldn't name! We went right at the junction signed Royal Basin and hiked 3-3 1/2 miles along Royal Creek which if not always seen is always heard. What a beautiful creek with many rapids and cascades!The forest, too, is beautiful with a plush carpet of green under many of the trees.
