Description:
The picturesque Cedar Creek Grist Mill will be holding their annual and popular Cider Squeezing and Bluegrass Jam event in Fall. This is the only grain-grinding mill in Washington that has maintained its original structural integrity, grinds with stones, and is water-powered. Built in 1876, the mill has been fully restored as a working museum and is registered as a National Historic Site. The covered bridge spanning Cedar Creek adjacent to the mill was rebuilt in 1994, and adds a scenic backdrop to this popular site drawing visitors from all over the world.

My hiking style is to stop frequently by creeks, wild-flower meadows, geological marvels and conversation, and not to rush through it. I reserve the right to remove anyone from the hike anytime based on their fitness level, attendance record, incomplete profile, or negative attitude on my previous hike.

If you are on the going list, and decide to cancel, please change your RSVP to "No" asap. Canceling after 8 pm on the day before the hike will result in a no-show on your record.
