Packwood Lake — Wednesday, Apr. 30, 2003

South Cascades > Goat Rocks

Gorgeous day for a hike. Trail was fairly clear of snow. Lots of blowdowns on trail.Many were already cleared off. Had the trail to ourselves both in and out. We trekked a bit further to head up to Mosquito Lake but trail was pretty heavy with snow for quite a long distance. Although you could follow the trail thanks to good blaze marks and a set of boot prints that had been up there too. We gave up just short of the Mosquito Lake and called it a good day. Headed back to Packwood Lake for a munch break and then out to the trailhead we went. Lots of fish jumping in the lake and lots of beautiful ducks.
