Fossil Trail Loop 6-27-2020
Here . This loop connects some old abandoned logging roads, ski & hiking trails to make the full loop around Goat Mountain & Goat Marsh. This journey is primarily a forest hike, so not a bad choice on a cloudy or overcast day. However, the forest offers a lot of variety - old growth, second growth, Noble Fir, Douglas-fir, Silver Fir & then Lodgepole Pine. Finished off with stretch along the Kalama River.
Hiked the Fossil Trail Loop starting from the Kalama Horse Camp TH and going clockwise. There's an excellent description of this loop in the field guide Re: Fossil Trail Loop 6-27-2020
As you say, a good hike on a cloudy day. And some of the world's most massive noble firs are lurking nearby!
