The parking lot was overflowing on this sunny Saturday but plenty of room in the park for everyone. Pretty walk in the woods with lots of moss, mushrooms and lichens. Plenty of mud on the trail. I enjoyed the squish under my boots but my daughter was able to keep her sneakers clean by sticking to the edge of the trail. I can't remember if the groundhog saw his shadow this year... the woods are telling me spring is just around the corner.

Took my MinPin on this hike, main trail is a bit muddy but passable. There are several small trails off the main that are more difficult but my dog was able to manage. I am out of shape and was tired at the end of my 4 mile hike. Beautiful setting with old growth and tons of mossy trees. I encountered many other dogs and children along the trail as well as horses. Will definitely do this again.

Had some business in Snohomish extended my stay to include a 4 mile walk in the Lord Hill Regional Park. Trails were a bit muddy but firm underneath. nice place for a walk through 2nd and 3rd growth forest and wetlands.

Beautiful mossy green amble down to Snohomish River (5.4 mi RT). Shared the road/trail several times with folks on horseback which only added to the lovely ambiance. The river was quite full and flowing fast. Not much wildlife there except 1 pair of common goldeneyes. Trail very very very muddy in places, especially the shortcut to the river (avoided that on the return trip judging the extra 0.3 miles to be worth it).
