Michelle on the West Canyon Trail:
“Seven of us headed out to Golden Ears to hike the western side of Gold Creek. This well defined trail proved to be a little bit better workout than the two eastern trails albeit less scenic in comparison (but still pleasant enough). The two view points (side detour to the Lower Falls and Gold Creek Lookout) were satisfying destinations for a quick outing. We passed several backpackers returning from Alder Flats. A nice Sunday outing for some fresh air with a happy, chatty, litter-collecting band of new and veteran Wanderungers. And sorry guys, the deal with the hat stays with me! Susan!”
