Brushy and quite a few down logs

Trip Details

Date: July 3, 2015

Trail: Skookum Lake

Trail #: 542

Submitted by: Rob

Trail Conditions

Trail is very brushy in spots and had quite a few downed logs on it. Most were easy stepovers, but two sections were very messy. One is a tough crawl under (3 logs) and one right before the lake was a huge mess of blowdown – that one you can go around, however. Most of the downed logs were near the lake. Road to the trailhead is in very good shape due to thinning projects in the area.
