It has taken thirty years, but finally the Foothills Trail has made it through South Prairie.
 |
| We bundled up and started walking at the South Prairie Trailhead |
 |
| I started getting excited as we approached the bridge |
 |
| There it is, the bridge is open, the bridge is open |
 |
| Walking past the trailer park that so long blocked the trail |
 |
| The setting is rural and peaceful |
 |
| Looking down from another bridge over South Prairie Creek |
 |
| Plenty of icy frost on the shady bridge surfaces |
 |
| Proceeding with caution |
 |
| A quick peek at Mt. Rainier, near our lunch stop |
Just for fun, here is the South Prairie bridge three years ago:
Thanks so much, Leslie, for letting us know the bridge was open!
Stats:
