Snoqualmie, Middle Fork

Scouting mission at low water in preparation for a potential spring trip. The road was rough and it took about 45 minutes to drive the 6 miles from the Middle Fork Trailhead up to Dingford Creek trailhead. It was passable with front wheel driving and moderate clearance if driving slowly and carefully. I hiked down on river left to Cripple Creek. It looked like the best way to get through the braided section of islands would be to hike the approximately 1/3 of a mile down the high-flow channel on river left. There were channel-spanning logs in the channel with the most flow.
