There are signs saying a black bear has been spotted in the area and is believed to still be around. No bear sighting but we did see a coyote.
We walked the trillium trail and I saw a coyote jump into the trail ahead of us and then quickly jump across into the forest. It didn't even look our direction. It happened so quickly that my partner (and dog) didn't even see it. When we walked by the area where I saw it, it was already nowhere to be seen -- perhaps it was hiding and looking at us from afar.
As the previous trip report stated, some trillium is in bloom. We saw a few lining the trail.
We did the trillium trail loop in about 50 minutes -- this is with a dog who likes to sniff around, and with a baby in a hiking backpack. We saw a handful of trail runners finishing a run when we started and then came across a few other hikers/walkers when we were closer to the parking lot.
There was a park ranger at the parking lot when we were leaving, standing by the entrance (I'm assuming telling people they need a Discover Pass.)
