I Found My Thrill...

When Pam, Athena and I headed to the Upper South Fork Skokomish River trail Wednesday we had no idea we were actually heading to Blueberry Hill. We were happily surprised by more ripe wild blueberries than we could eat.

 

 

We had a hard time keeping moving, but we didn't need to eat anything we brought with us during the 10 mile hike either.

 

This is a pretty trail with only a little over 1600 ft of elevation gain over the entire out and back so It would be good for beginners on up. There are some log bridges and log crossings to negotiate, but nothing the intrepid Athena couldn't handle.

 

Even with the constant stopping to pick berries we managed the trip in just over 4 hours and walked away with 2 ziplocks full of berries for a prize.

 

 

 

I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking except to point out that there is a tree crossing work around that you need to find at just over 1.5 miles. There is a horseshoe symbol on a pole that is too far so if you see it backtrack to a side trail and follow it down.

 

Be very well and more soon.....
