One thing I love about the Pacific Northwest is that even when the trailhead parking area is full, you can still spend most of the day on a trail without encountering more than a handful or two of other people. And even then, only briefly #SwaleCreekCanyon #SwaleCreek #KlickitatTrail #KlickitatCounty #Washington
