This hike was my favorite of the Cascades so far, not just due to the challenge, but the variety of elements involved: streams, falls, rock climbing, trees, berries, you name it. The very top had some moderate rock climbing involved, definitely not for the faint of heart or those scared of heights. I tried to get some pictures that captured both (the rock formations at the top and the river/mountains in the background), but the pictures just don't do it justice.
About .75 miles into the hike we came across a stream and let the kids play for a little while. From there, not much of a departure from the trail, which is a constant slight grade uphill for the 2+ miles. Will post a picture after I
Close to the top... just have to climb that rock on the left.

Spencer noted on the way down that going down was MUCH easier than going up :)
