Rising to Rattlesnake Ledge

On Saturday, June 13, 2009 we headed on a hike up to Rattlesnake Ledge by North Bend. The weather was a bit overcast when we started at the trailhead about 9:00 am, but cleared up quickly into a sunny beautiful day. The hike is less than two miles each way, but gains 1100 feet providing a nice moderate incline most of the way. The view at the top was partially obscured by moving fog, but we did get some good views of Rattlesnake lake below.

The crew included Cory B, Harrison K, Elliot H, William D, and Peter D plus four adults. It was a great day for a nice hike!
