Happy Hikers: Pike Lake Road to Cascade River State Park (East side)
On July 30 the Happy Hikers will begin at the SHT trailhead on Pike Lake Rd., CR 45. We will follow the trail along the east side of the Cascade River. This is a beautiful hike along the river, with many stunning views of rushing water and waterfalls. We will continue hiking the varied terrain and elevation through cedar, pine, alder, and birch. There are a few steep sections and one fairly easy water crossing. Well-behaved dogs on a leash are welcome. We will enjoy our lunch in the park picnic area down by the lake. This is a through hike and will require a shuttle back to our vehicles.
