Howdy,
At 0815 we were the first two cars at the Green Canyon Way trailhead. Unsurprisingly, there was no shortage of trees across the trail climbing to the Hunchback Trail. On the bright side... it was all onesie/twosie blockages that were easily gone over or around.
Devils Peak Lookout:
National Geodetic Survey marker near the lookout. It's datasheet: https://www.ngs.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/ds_mar ... Box=RC2259
Kinzel Lake was beautiful in the morning sunshine. We saw no other people on the trail until we were 10+ miles into our day.
Descending toward the Salmon River. Trail traffic was picking up by this point.
And the obligatory Salmon River shot:
Guessing there were 20+ cars at the Salmon River TH, and more than a dozen at the Green Canyon TH. There was a Clackamas County deputy in a SAR rig at Green Canyon waiting for hikers who'd gotten lost-ish to exit. Anybody have details?
Cheers,
Rob
