After some back and forth about what day to hike due to the conflicting weather reports, we decided to hike this morning to Mima Falls in the Capital Forest. Luckily, we had blue skies when we pulled into the parking lot. The Yoh! group was good-sized consisting of 6 people and 3 dogs. We started the hike at 9:35am and finished at 11:41am, covering 4.86 miles with a much more acceptable elevation gain of only 450 feet. The trail was well maintained, but busy; we ran into quite a few other folks including trail runners, hikers & mountain bikers. We spent a little time at the falls taking pictures after climbing down a little embankment. The falls are small, but pretty; definitely worth doing if you're in the area. There weren't as many mushrooms to be seen this time, but it was a beautiful trail with some huge trees. Another successful Yoh! hike.
