I was in the mood for a nice walk in the woods so I did a hike I did up Herman Creek Trail to where I lost the trail in the snow. I had heard from a number of folks that this a favorite backpacking trail and now I can see why with a gradual climbing trail good camp sites and plenty of creeks for water. This trail does a gradual climb passing through old growth forest and by a many creeks and waterfalls. All total I did 20 miles and 4000 feet elevation gain.
