On July 9, the Wetlands Trail was in good condition and snow-free. The road was suitable for all vehicles, and parking was available at the trailhead around midday. Hikers enjoyed ripe blackberries and thimbleberries, and found various interesting plants including ghost pipe and bird's nest fungus. Mosquitoes were present but not a significant issue. The trail is well-suited for leisurely exploration and berry picking.
