Cave Hole, By Pass Trail, Fred's Railroad, Quarry, Indian Trail & Wildside Trail-De Leo Wall — Thursday, May. 22, 2014

Issaquah Alps > Cougar Mountain

Cougar Mt trails are well maintained, well signed and in thick forests. A trail map is handy. They can be down loaded at King Co Parks website. The free supply of maps at the trail head were gone by noon. We started at the Redtown trail head and looped around on Cave Hole, By Pass, Fred's Railroad to Quarry. We took a side trip off Quarry to see Coal Creek Falls. There is still enough water to be pretty. Where Quarry and Indian Trail meet, we took a side trip to Redtown meadows. It is a lovely prairie restoration with benches for our lunch. Back to Indian Trail and down Wildside to the parking lot. This was a 6 mile hike and most enjoyable.
