Today I took the PTC trail west from the S Cle Elum TH for a round trip hike for about 5 miles. This is a beautiful section with lots of wetlands and sections that go right along the Yakima River. It is 2 miles from the trail head to the bridge over the river and about another half mile to the Bullfrog lumber mill, where we turned around. The TH area is kind of an outdoor railroad museum with informational signage and artifacts. There are just a few short snow patches I crossed, and they won’t last much longer. I saw three other people on the trail today.

Thanks ups and downs! That’s our daughter’s dog, and we have him about half the time. Like my wife and I, he loves hiking, and because we live in Roslyn, he gets to go just about every day he’s here.
