Creek Recreation Center |
May 27-29, 2005.
Our first camp of the year. It felt a little secluded
when we drove down hwy940, but I was still worried that
we might have ran out of site already. We arrived at around
6pm Friday, and the campground was completely a ghost
town. In here comes the difficulty in finding a site,
nothing is good enough when there are so many choices.
The cost was $17/night, self-registration, dry toilets,
and the only water pump is located at the entrance. |

(1) Our itinerary includes hiking to the top of Mt.
Burke. The parking area and the trail head are just outside
the campground.
(2) Also a part of this trip was a hike up to an active fire
lookout on top of Raspberry
Ridge.
We were both grateful for the sunny weather throughout this
trip... and for not getting sick from the cold nights. |
  At
the end of this trip, and after getting back from Raspberry
Ridge, we stopped by Sentinel Recreation Area for lunch.
I wanted to hike to the Cataract Creek Lower Falls, but you
have to cross/wade/ford this creek. So, after re-thinking
all the sacrifice my wife had done for me already, I just
called it quits here and we went home. |
