Cedar River Trail

It was another wet Yoh! hike today up in Ravensdale on the Cedar River Trail.  7 people and 2 dogs braved the rain & snow to hike approximately 5 miles.  The trail was flat & well maintained although you could see there had been a lot of damage from the January storm.  The Cedar River was beautiful and running pretty high.  We saw some kayakers running an obstacle course near the trail head.  This would probably be a very busy trail during the summer, but we only passed a few folks this morning.  I think it would be fun to bike or hike this trail to the end at Lake Washington, but that will have to wait until the weather is a wee bit better.  Thanks to everyone who came on the hike.  We might have to return in the fall when the trees are turning.

You can see some snow on the grass.  It didn't really stick, but did snow pretty much the entire time we hiked.

There was a smaller bridge further up.  I liked the salmon they attached to the fencing.

After the hike Clarissa, Pam, Corey & I went to the Black Diamond Bakery for lunch.  The service was a bit slow, but the food was really good & plentiful.  I had to take this photo of Corey next to this giant table &chairs because I love big stuff!
