We hiked the Blue Horse trail to the Toutle trail for a short loop, the weekend of the Bigfoot 200. The route does not include the Blue Horse trail so we had quiet first half where passed the snotel site at Huckleberry Saddle (yes there were huckleberries ripe, and ready for snackin'). We have been on the Mountain during the Bigfoot before. The last time was a few years ago when we camped on the pumice plain for the perseid meteor shower. It adds an extra buzz of excitement to the day (and night if you are backpacking).
Plenty of runners strode past as we made our way down the Toutle trail back to the TH.
It was a perfect day for a short hike.
There were no bugs to speak of.
The trail is in good condition, with a couple of logs to step over and one downed tree on the Blue Horse Trail that could be removed, (at N46.11.526 S122.15.184).
