Lord Hill Regional Park — Saturday, Apr. 14, 2012

Puget Sound and Islands > Seattle-Tacoma Area

For our first hike of our official hiking season, we headed to a new spot called Lord Hill Regional Park. The park is a vast 1,300 acres, of which we only experienced a small portion of it, nestled between Snohomish and Monroe. We hiked out to a vista point along the West View Trail where we enjoyed a late morning lunch and a glimpse of the Snohomish Valley. Since we did our usual early morning start we saw very few people on our hike out, during lunch, and most the way back. The perk with an early morning is that the kids rarely ever fight their afternoon naps.
