Redmond Watershed Preserve — Sunday, Mar. 31, 2013

Puget Sound and Islands > Seattle-Tacoma Area

Ended up at the Watershed as we got a late start and had other obligations. We parked at the trailhead -- lots of space which surprised us since it was gorgeous out. We took the Trillium connector to the Trillium trail and then looped back on the Pipeline trail and then the Powerline trail/connector back to the trailhead. About 5mi. Filtered sun on the Trillium with a few creek crossings, and a pond to view (from a distance). Terrain undulates but elevation gain is very mild. The Powerline trail was a mix of forest and open areas for the buried pipeline. Not as pretty, but not as boring as the Tolt. A bit of mud and a fair amount of horse poo. Trail encounters - maybe 5 MTBs, 7 horses, slugs and birds.
