Puget Sound and Islands > Seattle-Tacoma Area

This is a great "back-pocket" hike for a quick wilderness fix. Went this morning with a bunch of friends and all our wee ones (seven kids aged 2.5-4 years), and everyone comfortably hiked a 2.5 mile loop. Millions of ripe red huckleberries to keep morale and energy high among the kidlet set. Plenty of banana slugs for little eyes to peer at and gingerly step over. Some mosquitos. Lush forest, beautiful as always.
