Beautiful hike along Lynn Creek most of the way. You can still see remnants of 100 year old logging equipment and many huge old growth cedar stumps scattered throughout the forest. Along the way you can catch glimpses of Dam Mountain and Goat Mountain across the canyon. I was hoping to hike further, either to Lynn Lake or up to Coliseum Mountain but both routes were closed due to hazardous snow conditions (late March). This is an easy level 1 hike on a well established trail with only a very slight gradual elevation gain. Allow 4-5 hours round trip.
