Despite the damp weather we headed out to the Cape Horn Trail to take in the upper section. With clouds breaking we thought we might get a rainbow. But we just got muddy shoes. The trail was extremely muddy and the herbaceous vegetation growing up was damp leaving us wet from the waist down. The trail was also extremely slick; I fell down twice - should have brought my hiking poles.
On the positive side the purple larkspur were still in bloom and the shifting clouds were beautiful to behold as they blew through the Gorge.
Some sections were WTA volunteers have done maintenance were less muddy since the water could shed off, but with such a rainy spring even those areas were a bit slick.
