Not to obvious, so I had to look for previous footprints left by others

80 degrees when I left Sammamish. Still pretty balmy, though it would get 10 degrees colder whenever you crossed a snowmelt stream

Lots of hikers with their dogs (No Chihuahua's observed though)

So many waterfalls and creeks on this trail. Usually there are wood bridges to traverse then. This time I had to do a balancing act stepping on dry stones

You gotta smile when you come across this. Someone took the time to carve a staircase in a fallen log for hikers ease. Definitely paying it forward

Pointing the way to Annette Lake

Easily over 100 feet long
