If you are looking for views, Herman Creek has none, since it's a canyon/drainage. Fior view, you'd want to hike Gorton Creek to Whatum lake, but the snow will not be clear be next weekend. You can use Casey Creek, Nick Eaton Ridge, or Herman Creek cutoffs to make a nice loop over to Gorton Creek trail. Ridge Camp and Deadwood camps are nice on the Gorton Creek trail, and there are 5-6 sites along the Herman creek trail. Gorton creek trail has some great views as you hike along Nick Eaton Ridge.casuzy wrote:humm..that's alot of snow!!
I'm going to look into Herman Creek Drainage area and views. (are there any crossings in that area to be wary of this time of year?
From Gorton Creek above Indian Point
From Gorton Creek past Deadwood camp
I wish you could get up above the 4k feet mark. It's real pretty up there in the Gorge.
