There was a few drops of rain, but the trail was in good condition. We started from 56th St and took the rim trail north until the farthest point to switchback downhill to the creek trail. The trail is narrow and has a steep slope along it, which may not be suitable for young children. The creek was flowing well after the recent rains. There were only a few spots on the southern edge of the creek trail that could use some trail work, otherwise it was in great condition, especially considering the steep slopes to the sides. This loop was 2.5 miles.

Hiked in about a mile on my lunch break at Swan Creek Park off of Pioneer Way in East Tacoma. Trail a bit muddy in places but all blowdowns cut out. Peaceful walk. This urban trail goes over 5 miles in along creek. Sun even came out.
