After cutting my trip to Washington State Park short I had the opportunity to visit Rock Bridge Memorial State Park later that same day. Calling this visit a hike would be a stretch of epic proportions, it was a brief walk that paid dividends in beautiful scenery. The park itself is supposed to have about 25 miles of trails but the most interesting geology can be viewed after a quick walk from the parking lot. I'll have to visit the park again and hike the other trails to give a fair assessment.
The Rock Bridge is impressive from both sides which are easily accessible. Walk just a bit further and you will arrive at the Devil's Icebox. The name alone stirs the imagination and the view from the boardwalk is beautiful. Venture down some stairs and you can walk into the cave itself. According to the parks website guided tours are available for this cave system which stretches some seven miles.
This park is definitely on my list to revisit during the warmer months ahead.
