We walked in the general direction of Ramona Falls for a while, but were thwarted by the Sandy River crossing. The bridge was out for the season, as it was early December, but we thought we may be able to cross using on of the many log jams. We decided this was too dangerous when we saw that most of the logs had 4" of ice on them. Would have been fine with just two-legged hikers, but wasn't worth it for woodsmen of the 4-legged variety. We will definitely get back in the spring!
Tim and the hounds. Much of the first portion of the hike is along the glacier-scoured Sandy River. This damage occurred during the 2006 glacial outburst. Amazing how powerful nature can be.
Virg and Maggie in the debris field. See all the ice on that log?
Ramona is another hole in my hiking resume. As soon as the dogs can join, we'll head back up there, although it was nice being the only one on the trail!
