Ira Spring Trail - Mason Lake — Saturday, Jun. 10, 2000

Snoqualmie Region > Snoqualmie Pass

Finally a day without hordes on this trail! Only a dozen vehicles in the lot when I got there on a Sunday afternoon. The reason of course is that the rains continued unabated throughout the day. This was definitely the time of year to do this trail. The creek was gushing and cascading. The old growth forest was old growth-ing. The lake had just a hint of slush and the far side slope was white. The problems of the hike are no different that they always are on this trail: mud and more mud, sections more aptly described as a scramble, too many roots and too many routes.
