Starting at the North Chuckanut Mountain Trailhead I took the Lost Lake Trail then the length of the Ridge Trail, past Cyrus Gates Overlook at the south end of the park and back by way of the South Lost Lakes Trail and Huckleberry Trail.
Trail conditions:
There was a small amount of snow at the trailhead, up to a couple of inches of snow along the exposed roads and at middle elevations, but along the ridge and higher elevations it was pretty much snow free. The ridge trail was definitely the easiest in terms snow and mud, while the south part of the Lost Lake Trail the worst and pretty quite muddy/snowy for stretches. There were huge piles of icicles that had fallen along the rock trail, really impressive! Trails were great except for snow/mud sections.
There were only a couple of other hikers and two equestrians the whole day, most of the time I had the trail completely to myself.
