Puget Sound and Islands > Seattle-Tacoma Area

We started from the South Parking lot and hiked the Trillium Connector to the Trillium Trail. We started at 2:45 pm and the gate closes at 4:30 pm. We opted to cut south at the Pipeline Regional Trail and take the Trillium connector so we would make it out before the gate closed. The water fountain is off so make sure you have enough water. The trail is pretty soft from rain and horse tracks on the Trillium Trail. It does have some horse piles ever so often but they're easy to side step. It's was sprinkling when we hiked. Our waterproof shoes served us well. The Pipeline Trail is more solid but not as picturesque. There wasn't much traffic when we arrived (only 3 other cars in the lot). It's a nice low key hike with pleasant streams and water features (entrance and Old Pond).
