The final hike for “Hike into
Spring 1988” took students
from CCC to the Lewis River
near Mt. St. Helens in
Washington. The overnight
hike followed the river through
old growth Douglas Fir, cedar
and hemlock with numberous
wildflowers blanketing the
trail’s edge. Highlights of the
trip were the beautiful weather,
the gourment dinner competi­
tion, the evening campfire sing­
along, and the morning’s pan­
cakes. Student activities includ­
ed using an increment borer to
determine a tree’s age and
estimate its general health, a
demonstration on primitive fire
starting skills, and discussion of
management policies for old
growth timber.
Honest tree... this won’t hurt a bit.
The water purification system.
The groups gourmet buffet.
