| no partners | | The Duckabush trailhead is 0.1 mile up an unmarked road on the right a little past the horse trailer lot. Easy to miss.
Got going just after 7AM on a cloudy, lightly drizzly morning.The trail is in very good shape. Easy to follow. Only a little overgrowth higher up.
The trail only approaches the river in a couple places, at least on my hike. At ~2.4 miles and again at "five mile" which was my turn around point. The river is beautiful. There are camping spots at both locations.
My original plan was to just hike to the top of the "hump". I was hiking in the clouds at that point.I was feeling fine so I continued on to five mile.
I saw grouse five times, including some half grown young ones. Not many berries to eat, I guess I didn't get high enough for the good stuff. Wildflowers were light as well.
The weather started clearing up the last third of the hike. 62 degrees at the trailhead when I finished.
Saw 9 people, five of them backpackers returning. Wonderful hike.  |
