Deceiver, Fred's Railroad & Shy Bear — Monday, Jan. 13, 2025

Issaquah Alps > Cougar Mountain
Dusk from Fred’s

Hit Cougar Mt for quick end of day run. Hadn’t been on this section of the park for quite some time. Trails looked very different now from both the Nov storm blowdowns/rootballs changing paths and new man made features like a new bridge and steps/railing near Doughty Falls. The park is obviously well taken care of with the blowdowns cut up. There’s one blowdown that’s split on Deceiver Trail though that was not cut and can scrape your legs or snag your pant legs when you run past if not careful. Always seems to have some interesting dusk lighting from here, even on a cloudy day.
