There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,There is a rapture on the lonely shore,There is society, where none intrudes,By the deep sea, and music in its roar. I love not man the less, but Nature more. -Lord Byron

THREE CORNER ROCK: Washougal River Road

Click the link for the Washington Trails Association  website about Three Corner Rock Trail.

We will come back and add more photos to this entry later, we were on a time crunch and could not do the hike up to the actual "3 corner rock". Most trail guides or information will advise accessing from the Pacific Crest Trail, access east of Washougal off of Highway 14. We drove out the Washougal River Road all the way to the Stebbins Creek Trailhead. It is a 9.2 mile hike from this trailhead, and the first mile is straight up, it continues to work its way higher in eleveation pretty steadily until at least the first 3 miles, not sure from there, as we had to turn back around.

It is dense forest, with occasional peaks of the Creek far below, definate Sasquatch territory! It was a bit chilly without the sunspots, but all in all, a very soothing, beauty of a mini-hike. We will be back to do the 9.2 miles, there is a campground somewhere in the madness up there, going to try and track it down.







We came back out a few months later for nice weather, and to try and find the other trailhead. The forest road was closed by loggers so we were unable to continue on. We stopped here to look at our possible new secret swimming hole :)
