Comments
Comments: A perfect morning for a trip into the cascades, which were lovely. Footing was a mix of dry, wet, and muddy. The very steep climb to the uppermost cascade took some care on the way down due to erosion and slippery mud. Also some caution needed to reach the base of the high rock wall at the top of the trail.
