Saturday's weather called for rain, so my friend found this loop hike at Cougar Mountain to do. She found this hike via Alltrails titled, Longview Peak and Far Country Lookout Loop. 6.5 miles/1085 ft gain.
Trailhead start and end: Sky Country Trailhead. Lots of parking Saturday.
The trail: There were a lot of junctions so we had to reference our map quite a bit. We saw 3 different waterfalls, the main big one was Coal Creek Falls. Not much gain in the first few miles. More gain towards the end of the hike we felt. We wore rain pants and gaiters, prepared for the rain and mud and were happy we did. No views from Longview, just lots of trees and ferns in the way of any kind of view. Good hike for a rainy day! Saw lots of trail runners.
