A lot of trails for a 4 mile loop (approximate mileage) in Cougar Mt. Park, three of us, Alpine Art, Loren and Joani started from Sky Country Trail Head on a pleasant walk on trails and the Clay Pit Road. In general the trails are a bit muddy after recent rains but for most of our hike we had only drizzle if with mud holes. The East Fork trail was quite muddy at times but this is not unusual for this trail. My only misdirection on the hike was a short trip up Coyote Creek Trail rather than hiking Clay Pit Road to Klondike Swamp Trail.
Other than the mud the walk was great. Lots of dogs, runners and others out prior to the predicted arrival of rain in the afternoon.

This was a short loop and reconnaissance hike to see the condition of trails after a week of warmer weather a melting.
In early January all of the trails in the area had snow, ice and slush present. Snow was hard to find on this date but mud, water and general muck were on most of the trails. A WTA party was working on the Mine Shaft Trail raising the bed in places and adding water drainage. The East Fork Trail is in need of work including better drainage - water was running down about 1/3 of the trail bed. The other trails were in better shape but muddy due to the recent snow. Saw deer and bear tracks in the mud. |
