Hiking- Skookum Flats Trail
posted in Hiking |Today we hiked the first 2 miles of the Skookum Flats Trail (#1194).
This trail is located in the NW foothills of Mt Ranier
and while its in a hilly area along a stream bank this trail itself is
relatively flat which makes it pretty easy. Despite the guide which listed this
as visitor use we only saw maybe 6 other sets of people during our hike. The
scenery is nice with a river along side the trail and a waterfall at the 2 mile
point. There are also some quite interesting fallen logs and some huge trees-
its nice to see an area that appears to still be old growth.
We saw several mountain bikers pass us and it seems like a pretty good trail
for mountain bikes. I’m not especially hard-core so I’d probably get off and
walk over a couple streams and past one wash-out but beyond that it looked
pretty easy.
