Mud Pit Hiking
This is the kind of trail that is often called a "corduroy road" because all the logs laid across the trail resemble an extremely large example of corduroy fabric. While it's muddy (the logs rot at different rates), it's better than no logs.
Helen Under Large Tree
That large tree is a Douglas Fir - these trees grow to be huge. Out here, they are often "eagle trees" because they are taller than the surrounding forest and have good solid branches.
