For fifteen years I’ve returned to this trail, and every visit the water takes my breath away — impossibly clear, impossibly clean. The route is the classic soggy, deep‑green Northwest hike: moss‑draped firs, fern‑thick undergrowth, and the soft hush of a temperate rainforest. It perfectly captures the PNW’s mood — quiet, wet, and vividly alive.
