The hike today was beautiful, some views finally.
We got out of town at 12 PM and back on trail by 12:30 PM. We had close, amazing views of Mount Adams and it’s glaciers. Wild flowers were everywhere, creeks, and lava beds. Even Mount Rainier was visible off in the distance.
By mile 12 we came to a river crossing with four horses and their riders and two hikers attempting to cross the raging creek on foot. Apparently one of the riders got across, but the horse started going crazy and left it’s rider on the other side of the river and came back across to join it’s horse friends. The water was raging, muddy and deep in some spots.
We decided we would wait until morning to try to cross the river. Hoping the snow melt would slow over night allowing us an easy crossing. Green Light, Dad Jokes, and us camped near the creek and called it an early night.
