This Was Once A "Five Star" Hiking Trail Along The Mad River With Shelters, Guard Stations, Telegraph Line, but The Tyee Fire In 1994 Burned Large Portions Of The Trail And Now 13 Years later, Much Of The Trail Is Covered With Thick Brushy Growth. ( This Is Bad And The Mad River Was A Heathy Population Of Rattlesnakes.) No Big Deal If you Can See Them, But Today's Trail, You May Not. Quite A Large Number Of Blow Downs As Well Make Going Tough And 1.5 mph Is About All You Can Do. I Hiked In 6 Miles On A Late Evening And Was Rewarded With A Few Bits And Pieces Of What This Trail Once Was..... Start Of Trail Is At Pine Flats Campground.
