Took the pipeline shortcut down due to sundown coming. Lots of large streams difficult crossing. Friends fell in and her lower body soaked. But otherwise very nice
Great casual hike. Nothing too hard mostly just small up and down. Used spikes the whole time and would defiantly recommend having them.
Beautiful hike with great views in the snow. I went counter clockwise as advised in the description. With the snow, the scramble section is DANGEROUS if you have little to no experience rock climbing given the limited options. I would NOT take Thais trail clockwise. My microspikes were a huge help on less trafficked sections. I’m planning to do this again in the spring.
It is well paved and marking are clear on the tree, very helpful. But I skipped the rocks due to how slippery it is. Great hour in a half hike
Excellent trail, with lots of variety. I do have to say there was a section of scrambling we didn’t expect and with a dog it was semi challenging. Also, our elevation was around 1100.
Bring a map and be prepared to really look for wonky markings. Good, varied terrain, good views. Saw a Bald Eagle and an owl. Light traffic today (Tues late morning) but lucky for me I ran into a few folks that set me on the right path after getting super lost with a dead phone. There are a few steep scrambles.
