WTA Pro Tip: Save a copy of our directions before you leave! App-based driving directions aren't always accurate and data connections may be unreliable as you drive to the trailhead.

Getting There

From I-90, take Exit 13 and drive south on Lakemont Blvd SE for two and a half miles. Turn left onto SE Cougar Mountain Way and follow the double yellow line. As you drive, the road takes a left, becoming 168th Place SE and then right to become SE 60th Street. Turn off 60th St uphill onto the dead end road, SE Cougar Mountain Drive. The road will change to gravel, and at the end is the trailhead.
