Beauty and Mystery of Big Lava Bed

We may not have miles of hardwood forests such as grace parts of the east coast, but we have a wealth of fall color if you know where to look! The Gifford-Pinchot National Forest in SW Washington is a rich and varied landscape - in the fall vine maples, dogwoods, huckleberries, cottonwoods and more can put on a magnificent show. We've timed this hike in hopes of enjoying the best that a Northwest fall has to offer. First, we'll explore a section of the mysterious Big Lava Bed, and then head out along a segment of the Pacific Crest Trail for a moderate hike and interesting outing.
