Description:
Weather update from Brad who canceled: "Scott Lake weather, 90% rain this morning tapering down to 60% this afternoon, high of 44. I'm thinking zero visibility." We will drive up the McKenzie Highway to take FS Road 260, a 1.5 mile gravel road, to the trailhead. It is about a two hour drive. There is almost a 360 degree panoramic view from the summit. We could decide instead to take the loop hike to Hand Lake adding a few more miles. Moderate pace. UPDATE: If rain is an issue when we meet, our alternative will be to hike in the Thurston Hills area walking south from Albertsons to the Weyerhauser Haul Road, Spine Trail, and more. If you have questions, email me at jbjacobsen@comcast.net Drivers will need a Recreation Pass.
