BRIDGE TO BAT CAVES IS GONE! There is supposed to be a side trip that you can take to view the bat caves along this trail. However, the bridge to the bat caves washed out and you can no longer easily cross the creek to get the them. The trail is still there but there are branches across to discourage people from trying to get there. A dedicated person could probably get across but definitely not recommend for most hikers.
It is a surprisingly steep climb and the second half of the trail is rather muddy this time of year, but the views of the Puget Sound are amazing once you get to the top. Definitely worth it but be prepared to share the trail with lots of other hikers.

There use to be a bridge to the bat caves but it is now a slippery crossing not recommended for most people.
