Silver Falls Trail

The summer weather has finally arrived, which means it's time for a hike.  We decided to do the Silver Falls Trail as the first hike since my husband's injury to make sure that he was okay.  The hike was so peaceful and full of mossy trees...I loved it.  The best part was the hot springs and the water fall.  Although the hot springs did not smell very well when it's 80 degrees out, it was still cool feeling the heat coming off of the water.  If you are ever in the Mt Rainier area you need to check out this hike.  It connects to other hikes so you can make it long or short.  You can also camp at the campground and make a long trip out of it.
