Cougar Mountain's Springtime splendor is progressing. Now, the bleeding hearts, skunk cabbage and trillium are in their prime along with armies of unseen chorusing frogs. But, the osoberry flowers are dried and the bright greens of its leaves are subdued. Far Country Falls is lush with ferns and highlighted with sunshine 🌞. Despite recent rainfall, no mud or puddles; although the moisture has brightened the moss-laden trunks and branches. Then to top it off, bright orchard tree blossoms near the car park. A truly lovely hike today.
Many thanks for the extensive recent bank stabilization work.

Hiking Buddies on Licorice Fern Trail, Far Country
Where did you start the hike? Is the Red Town Trailhead still hard to access because of closed road? Any idea what your total mileage for this hike was? Looking for a good beginner hike.

I believe this could be a good beginner hike. Started at the Licorice Fern TH then to Far Country Overlook then to Far Country Falls then return to TH. 4.8 miles and 700' overall gain.
