Thompson Loop
trail_hike_comments: Trail follows old logging roads much of the way. One neat hemlock/rhododendron forest section. Some stream crossings. Some lakeshore trail., trail_bike_comments: Some stream crossings and old logging roads. Mixed pine and hardwood forests at Tsali are easily recognized on this trail. Some old homesites. Neat part of forest with tall hemlocks and rhododendron, not typical of the heavily logged areas at Tsali. More great lakeshore singletrack riding with long, gradual hills. Some really great fast gravel road sections.
