Cedar Butte Hike

It was a very cold & breezy hike today up to Cedar Butte near North Bend.  Luckily we didn't get rained on, but we did have to trudge through a couple of puddles and some slippery snow on the trail.  Still, it was very manageable and no one fell.  We were surprised to see so many mushrooms still sprouting.  The view from the top was pretty, but a little socked in with clouds.  Bet it is magnificent on a sunny day.  We may head back here this winter to do a snowshoe on the trail at the first part of the hike, which was relatively flat & wide.  It was another great Yoh! adventure. 

Cirus all excited to get going.

Always nice to have bathrooms at the trail head.

It was well signed.  We started out on the John Wayne Pioneer Trail.

From this point it was all uphill.
