West Fork Miller River — Sunday, Dec. 15, 2002

Central Cascades > Stevens Pass - West

I hiked to the Coney Creek crossing. The alder tree that someone made a bridge with is now gone. Plan on fording to go further. There is 6"" of snow at the creek, none at the trailhead. Last weeks heavy rain has the river full of brilliant white rapids,lots of water running down the trail. There is a new pile of really big rocks at the beginning to keep the 4 wheelers out. This trail, an old road, accesses many old mines. You rarely see other people. It is a favorite for snowshoes. Beautiful any day of the year. Thanks again to those who improve the trails they walk on.
