Grand Ridge Park

Heard about this trail during a recent WTA work party in Auburn with much talk about the boardwalk near the end. The trail is in great shape. Some climb at the beginning (about 500-750 feet over a mile or so) then level with ups/downs. Made it all the way to the boardwalk, about 4 hours roundtrip. It is a good nearby hike w/o much altitude gains. If the small parking lot is full, just park on the access road on the other side of I-90 that leads up to the tiger mountain trails. One warning, this is a heavily used mountain bike trail so beware if it freaks you out when a bike comes zipping down towards you. I will add that EVERY biker we encountered was very hiker friendly, courteous and paying attention. But it is a shared trail between mountain bikers and hikers.
