August 8th, 2006 Waycrazy and I (Ceg) headed out from Waycrazy's house in Tieton to French Canyon. It was just down the road from his place.
The trail started right after the Reservoir. We had to open and closes a few gates a long the way. Here we are coming up on the first gate.
We had to cross the dry creek a few times. This is the first place we found any water. Waycrazy's dog needed a drink. The hill behind my rig would be fun to climb with snow on the ground. It is steeper than it looks.
Here I am guessing the trail and creek bed are the same?
Here is another creek crossing.
The trail took off two different ways. We took the high trail. We climbed up the trail and stopped for a look down at the canyon.
Here is Waycrazy's crazy dog.
Up on top there weren't as many trees. The views were great.
This is looking back at Tieton and Cowiche.
Jump Off Lookout Tower.
Pine Mountain Lookout Tower.
Sedge Ridge.
We could also see Mt. Rainier, Mt. Adams, Bethel Ridge, Manastash Ridge and many other land marks.
On up the trail we stopped before turning off onto Trail 641.
Here is looking down on Hwy-12.
This is heading down trail 641.
We turned onto Hatton Road and headed back toward the valley. We came up on an old cabin.
It was a long drive down Hatton Road. There were not many trees.
We took a trail back over too French Canyon at ran back out by the reservoir.
This was a nice run with some cool things to see.
We are going to try to do a run or two in the colder months.
