Hike 11/27 John Tursi Trail


The hike begins with a short road walk below Mount Erie


The forecast calling for 80% chance of rain was far too pessimistic


Trail passes by a mound covered with new fern fronds


Beautiful forest trail through mostly second growth


Vista looking south toward Pass Lake, our destination.


Taking a break at Pass Lake before heading back.


Pass Lake. This is the lake you drive past on Highway 20 just a short ways before crossing Deception Pass Bridge


So many interesting little details if looked for them along the trail


A small tunnel had been bored into the rock by some long-ago prospector


Trail has some occasionally steep sections that required care


Lots of tiny mushrooms to see
