Coal Creek Falls Deceiver Far Country Long View Peak Shy Bear Wilderness Cliffs Wilderness Creek Wilderness Peak - Issaquah Alps - There were many windfalls along the route, particularly in areas more than a mile from the trailhead and on lesser used trails. The Wilderness Creek and Wilderness Cliff Trails are in good condition. There used to be a summit register on Wilderness Peak (why, I can't guess), but it's gone now. There is no view here. The Wilderness Peak Trail is in good condition to its terminus at Shy Bear Pass. No bears, they must be shy. The Long View Peak Trail wanders on a level alignment to its end at Long View Peak. Much better views here. The Deceiver Trail has quite a few windfalls as it descends into the Cabbage Creek watershed. There is a spur trail to Doughty Falls just after crossing Cabbage Creek. Don't expect anything spectacular out of these falls. The Shy Bear Trail is a fairly level run from its junction with the Deceiver Trail to its end at Far Country Lookout. Nice views here too. You can see exciting Renton (whoopee!). The really good stuff is over in the Olympics though, which can also be seen. Then a rather quick descent down the Far Country Trail to its end at Indian Trail, which is actually an old road. Indian Trail is muddy in spots. There is a bootpath off trail to a falls on Long Marsh Creek. I've named them Angus McFergus McTavish Dundee Falls after some guy I saw on Captain Kangaroo about 37 years ago. Somehow I don't think the committee for geographic place names is going to buy that one. Quarry Trail is also an old road that climbs fairly steeply. Coal Creek Falls is 0.1 miles down Coal Creek Falls Trail and it is worth seeing. The Quarry Trail should be renamed Quagmire Trail as it is very muddy east of its junction with Coal Creek Falls Trail. The Shy Bear Trail also has some muddy spots between the junction with Quarry/Fred's Railroad Trail and its end at Shy Bear Pass. Still no bears. The Wilderness Creek Trail has the one windfall I would have removed had I remembered to bring a saw (as well as check with King County Parks beforehand if such was okay). People have beaten down a detour path (completely unnecessary as the windfall can be stepped over with some effort). http://www.geocities.com/~rangermike
