Puget Sound and Islands > Seattle-Tacoma Area

2.9mi 164m ascent. I'm breaking in new boots and a jacket, and spent Saturday cleaning up from last week's break in, so I decided to get up Sunday morning and take a quick jaunt near to home. As it was drizzly or rainy the entire time, it was a keen opportunity to give the new jacket a chance. The so-called "South trail" and "North trail" were the places to be. This route, namely the main road from the west, to the south trail, around the south rim, returning on the main road to the first cutoff up to the bridge, and then joining with the north trail when possible, is likely the most sensible. Looping in the other direction will make it hard to find a spot to jump from the north trail to the bridge trail.
