Palisades, Little Ranger Peak via Ranger Creek — Wednesday, Jul. 19, 2023

Mount Rainier Area > Chinook Pass - Hwy 410
Trailwok Location

Wednesday I worked with a couple sawyers from Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance on the upper Ranger Creek and the Palisades Trail near the old shelter.

We took care of about 50 of the downed trees.  THERE ARE STILL MORE DOWNED TREES ON THE TRAIL but we quit at 1PM (Level 2 fire danger end time).  I'm trying to talk them into coming back and finishing the job sometime next week. 

Also, the part of Ranger Creek near the location of the old shelter has two really big hard to get around rootball blowouts that we could see(we did not go down that trail at all).

Some pics of the work.
