Day 14 (June 8, 2020): The Flume Trail

Began the morning at the Tunnel Creek Station Cafe to meet the shuttle that takes you to Spooner Lake that gets you to the beginning of the Flume Trail.

After being dropped off at Spooner Lake, there is a 4-mile fairly steep climb to get to the beginning of the Flume Trail. With the elevation of 8-thousand feet, the steepness and length of climb, I ended up pushing the bike up the hill after the third mile.

Back in the day, the flume began at Marlette Lake.

The Flume Trail itself is narrow with steep drop-offs. The views from the trail are beautiful.
