Cape Horn WA 11 October 2103

Becky, Bethany and I had to switch our plans to Cape Horn as Jefferson Park was very possibly covered in snow.  We arrived early - around 9:30a and began climbing up through a deciduous woods.  It was cool, but we warmed up.  Our first views were pretty foggy but the sun gradually did come out more and more.  We pretty much had the trail to ourselves too.  The trail was very easy to follow at the "road" junctions but when we crossed the road and had come down a bit we came to a three way junction.  We should have gone right, not left.  We ended up missing seeing the railway train tunnel and walking behind the waterfall.  Next time!  This hike will be pretty in the spring when the trees are sending out shoots and the delphiniums are blooming.
