Yellow Jacket Loop – June 29, 2019

Hike Coordinator: John Malone

You just can’t beat Yellowjacket Loop in the spring! Although the unappealing name conjures up images of pesky stinging insects, this was not the actual case during this hike. A good sized group showed up to hike this trail which begins near Hemlock Lake. The trail ambled through expansive and lush meadows while wildflower blooms burst with color! Views of nearby Cascades peaks awarded the hikers once they reached the top of Flat Rock. This is a worthy 5.5 mile trek that, being so close to us locals, just can’t be beat.
