| Comments: |
Trail does not seem to get a lot of use but a very nice hike. Wildflowers were abundant. Open woods and trail is easy to follow with the above mentioned issues. There was flagging up higher (spruce section) where the stream had flowed down the trail. Maybe work will be done. Really nice area.
Views from old tower posts and rocks around top. Bush whacked down from trail to Waternomee Falls. Came out above it where there is a really nice cascade. Picked up trail at the falls for the hike out.
Great day out with Karen, David, and Jeanne |
