I wanted something nearby with a view so Little Mountain it was! Bonus is picnic tables at the summit and the ability to get a little writing done.
I parked at the summit parking lot overlook and waited a bit for a group of 10 to wander off before taking in the scenery. I could see over to the snow capped Olympics and a few daffodil fields were turning yellow.
Then I headed past the tower to the south, over the “true” summit and dropped down to meet Bonnie & Clyde.
I know I’ve been in Bonnie & Clyde before but this was the first time seeing the abandoned truck it gets its name from. I imagine that was one heck of a story. I bet my friend Ginny knows.
Just past it I took a turn up Fred’s “difficult or dangerous” trail and got those calf muscles burning. All the trails are dry right now so it wasn’t TOO difficult or dangerous.
At the top I went left for the North Viewpoint Trail and stopped quickly for a view of Baker. Not a soul so far.
I headed down the road to meet the Service Road trail and looped back to B&C to make a figure 8. Back up Fred’s and to my car for about 2 miles and an hour of walking.
There were far more people at the parking lot viewpoint upon my return so I didn’t end up staying to work but you know, that whole #socialdistancing thing. 🙂
