Holder Knob — Monday, Dec. 9, 2024

Issaquah Alps > Taylor Mountain

I had last hiked this trail a year ago, and I was surprised today with the almost total lack of mud this time.  Typically this has been a fairly muddy trail in winter, but it looks as if some gravel may have been added, at least in the lower half.

It was a cool, sunny day, but I saw only a handful of other hikers and no horse riders.  I hiked up to the picnic table on the Knob but found it was in the shade, so I continued on, taking the left-hand trail off the road that leads to the other picnic table near the private land, which was catching the sun.  I looped back on Road K and Road A, for a total trip of 4.9 miles with 730 feet elevation gain.
