The morning was quite dry, but since it had rained over 100 mm in the last four days, everything was very wet. And we were still expecting more. The eight of us hiked this lovely loop on maintained trail, which is quite protected in bad weather. The fall colours were still strong, and everything was green and lush from the rain. The maples, cliffs and overhanging rocks, the old growth fir, creeks and moss make this a beautiful walk. 5.3 km; 2 hours.
