This is a great leg stretching hike. It is a fairly flat trail with a little elevation gain, but it is mostly just a nice hike to see the Lime Kiln, then continuing onto the river loop at the end. I took my two teenagers and Lucy (German Shepherd) on this trip so they could play in the river. Lucy loved it as we found sticks to throw for her in the river. The water is low so that there was a nice pool for her to play in and chase rocks and sticks. The trail is cut back in some places but past the Lime Kiln it gets fairly overgrown and brushy. It is best to wear long pants and sleeves to avoid getting scratched or have strange bugs attach themselves to you. Fortunately it was a cool day so wearing long pants was not a problem. This was another hike for the Hike-a-Thon and I really enjoyed it after doing Mt. Pilchuck the day before. Great place to take the kids! The blackberries should be ripe in a couple of weeks and this is a good trail to pick berries for delicious pies. Happy Hiking! :0)
