Beautiful hike! We were lucky to have fair weather. Mt Clinton road was closed so we walked the road to the trail head. We hiked up pierce and then ventured on a lovely ridge from pierce to Eisenhower. The of Eisenhower from Pierce was striking! The rocky surfaces made us feel like mountain goats! The ridge continued to Monroe and we could clearly see Washington close by. As we summited Eisnenhower a large rain cloud passed by covering the weather station atop Washington. Lucky we didn’t experience any rain though the wind was carried a cool chill. On our way down Edmunds while crossing the river we accidentally strayed off the main trail and popped back onto the road via narrow trails which happened to be a shortcut passed the parking lot we were expecting to enter. This seldom traveled path was a surprise to a camper. We visited One Love Brewery afterwards to celebrate our adventure.
