Rapid River

After driving about 1:15 from my house, Craig and I were happy to see Bill and Lynn were already at the trailhead. Introductions, then we're off.

Craig has a thing for elk.

At this point, the day was already a success.

And then we spotted trillium. This is the most significant sign of spring, along with ticks.

Craig was enjoying the Oregon-like vegetation, such as loads of moss and quite a few pacific yew trees.

Second bridge, looking upstream. Chance of sunshine!

And then on the hillside overlooking third bridge, a leisurely and socially-distanced lunch in the sun.

The sun was higher on the return hike; the downhill making for better hiking, the sun making for better photography.

Second bridge once again. Gin-clear water.

It's a great trail, but there are a few places that disinterest one from falling off.

The dogs didn't want to fall off, either.

First bridge on our return.

After first bridge, Lynn and Bill heading up the downstream trail. Doesn't seem fair, but you better get over it.
