Wet, Rainy and Sunny but no significant wind disruptions on this short walk (about 1.5 miles by my estimation). The trails were quite waterlogged but not overly muddy, several spots had 6 inch water "holes" or puddles that covered the trails, these will likely drain as weather improves to more normal levels.

Flowers such as phlox were out and the whole park is in the midst of spring with green trees and shrubs everywhere. Other than the rain and water holes a nice walk.

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.

Took the directions from this page and did the hike. I was expecting it to be tougher than it actually was. The most difficult part was the ascent of Lost Beagle Trail, I took one break and a sip of water (and I'm relatively out of shape). If nothing else its a great nature hike, good for inexperienced hikers. Most of the other people on the trail were joggers.

I think the "million dollar view" is an ironic name. I did not find any such view, even when I crossed into Radar Park (there is an entrance at the top of lost beagle trail) and walked to a bench. Maybe I just wasn't looking hard enough.

In all it took me about 1.5 hours to cover the whole thing. Fun hike and great forest scenery.

A short walk with moderate elevation gain on a beautiful fall day. The trails were all in good shape and the 4 miles of trail took about 1.5 hours to cover. I saw several folks on the walk and one black bear near junction with the By Pass Trail on my return. A man with a dog pointed out the young bear and I avoided the area the bear retreated into.

The man said he had seen other bears in the area over the past few weeks so some caution is advised.
