Lord Hill Regional Park — Saturday, May. 26, 2012

Puget Sound and Islands > Seattle-Tacoma Area

Lord Hill Park is a close-in gem! The trail was a bit muddy in spots but that wasn't a serious problem. We had lunch on the picnic table at the overlook and could catch a glimpse of Mt. Baker through the trees. Be sure to take the loop trail that descends from the overlook, it has a completely different character from the rest of the park and it feels like you've entered a different world. Salmon berries are just starting to ripen, and wildflowers abounded.
