This was a little hike that Mike organized and I decided to join. This trail is located in the Washington side very close to the Bridge of the Gods and is actually part of the PCT. The hike itself was very moderate passing by a small lake before reaching Gillette Lake. After a short stop to let the dogs go for a swim, we continued up through a dense forest to an opening that was not very pretty. We didn’t know at the time, but this trail crosses a section of the forest that’s being logged. That open area, besides being kind of ugly, was very windy. After that, the trail continued into the forest with a very mild ascend and offering some really nice views of the Gorge. At some point we decided to stop for lunch and head back out. We don’t really know if we got or even passed the overlook since there was no sign or indication of it. Besides almost loosing a hiker on the way back, I made a second stop at Gillette Lake just to let Shia swim some more. In the end it was a nice day with an ok hike.
