Location

In National Forest land a short walk off of US 12.

Participants

Expedition

We figure we should do an expedition in the Mt Rainier graticule every thirteen or fourteen years whether it needs it or not, and it's been a while since 2011-07-21 46 -121, so once again we headed west out of the Yakima valley on Highway 12.

A few miles past a little village called Rimrock Retreat, I think -- I'm not seeing it on the map -- we turned right on Soup Creek Road and drove in a ways until there was a wide enough shoulder to turn off on. From there, a five or ten minute walk through open forest, along with a hop across little Soup Creek, got us to the hashpoint without too much trouble.

Forty-five minutes later, ordering lunch back in Naches, a guy asked us "were you just hiking off of Soup Creek Road?" He had been elk hunting and saw us come out of the woods. We kept it simple: yes, we'd gone for a nice little hike.
