Nice
hike today through the trees with frequent views of Sugarloaf, a rocky
peak standing in the middle of the valley. We saw a few people on
the trail, some at the Sugarloaf Creek crossing and then again just
before reaching Scaffold Meadows. There is a ranger station at
Scaffold Meadows, and a trail crew was stationed nearby. Today
was the most rain we had on the trip, with three hours of nonstop rain
from 4-7pm, then a few more sprinkles between around 8-10pm.
Roaring River was flowing nicely for this time of year.
Journal Entry: Started hike at 8am, downhill followed by long fairly level section past Sugarloaf. Last section up and over, down to Roaring River and up to Ranger Station. Got here 2:30 or so. Clouds building all day, thunder at 3:30 and rain started at 4:00.
