Destination - Quartz Butte, WA

7/7/2020

0 Comments

 
Quartz Butte area is sort of between Mt. Adams and Mt St. Helens and close to East Fork of Lewis River.  Our adventurous group were seeking out a new to us place to car camp and hike.  Traveling on a secondary, amazingly well paved road for about 5 miles, we found our destination, but couldn't quite make it to the end of the road, without a little trail maintenance.  We were prepared for that with loppers, choppers, and shovels.
We were able to get our tents set up and a fire built just before the rain started.  After dinner, we had the best smores, thanks to Mike and the quality chocolate he provided. He made the sticks for us also!
After a lazy start the next day, we hiked down (and I mean DOWN) to Quartz Creek. Amid lots of blowdown, we slowly made our way down the steep trail to a beautiful spot on the creek, ideal for napping and doing lots of nothing except talking about food and more smores.
Another hike, another trail, the next day, then we were on our way home.
