Rainy day hike at Cougar starting from Sky Country Trailhead- this is what I call my 5 mile, 2 waterfall" loop (you can add on Deceiver Trail/Doughty Falls to make it a 7 mile/3 waterfall loop). This goes past Far Country falls which are super sweet looking as they run through a mossy hillside - look sort of zen. Also past Coal Creek Falls - which look more like a real waterfall and were definitely running strong today. Total stats on this loop are about 5.6 miles and 1100 feet of gain. Nice little hike close to town.
