Banner Forest — Sunday, Jan. 15, 2023

Olympic Peninsula > Kitsap Peninsula

A mildly rainy day to hike Banner, but a good day to see the condition of the Banner Slough trail.  Kudos to WTA volunteers who have continued to work on this trail.  There are 2 new causeways through the wettest areas, and the previous raised trail through the wet has been refilled w/ gravel.  Much evidence of drainage work, and only one more really bad place - which I suspect will also get a causeway.  Really impressive.

For those who've never done volunteer trail work, it is actually great fun.  Really interesting people to meet, a sense of accomplishment, and you never look at a trail the same ever again.

Banner is a great resource - with a well graveled road for fast get-your-exercise walkers, relatively interesting side trails, and twisty little trails for bikes.  Almost everyone is pretty good about cleaning up poop after their dog.
