Came to the "west side" of the cascades to avoid spring snow and meet up with friends. This is a nice hiking area considering its location to the city but it certainly lacks the grandness of my idea of what a great mountain hike is. Whittaker Peak is not really a peak at all, its the highest point on a forrested hill, and Doughty Falls had hardly any water running over it even so early in the year. The trail is well maintained, definitely has some challenge to it as far as elevation goes, while still being hikable by a 5 year old in our group.
