Capitol State Forest - Sherman Creek Loop — Saturday, Apr. 7, 2012

Olympic Peninsula > Olympia

Caution: its a 9 mile hike and you get into it a good 6 miles before you realize that the last 3 are a very difficult adventure. Trail #8 is in high need of repair from recent weather. That being said, I would happily do it again, only in reverse of the route shown. This way I could navigate the difficult stretch on fresh legs and feet. I did this with an infant in a back carrier. Had a great time, love the trail. Just think that people should be warned that after 6 miles of decent hike you encounter... lets call it Nature at its Best.
