Holder Knob — Monday, Aug. 1, 2016

For my first hike of the Hike-A-Thon, I decided to pick something that was close to home. We started at the trailhead right next to where Highway 18 meets Hobart-Issaquah road. Our hiking group included two people and a corgi. We started the hike around 5:00pm and decided to follow the Holder Knob trail. Once the trail reached an intersection with Whisky Still trail, we followed that to the main gravel trail, which we followed back to the car. According to our mileage tracker, it was just shy of 4 miles. The trail was in good condition and the weather was perfect for an afternoon hike. These trails are shared with horses, so there is some poop on the trails. We ended up making it back to our car at about 7:15. Overall it was a great way to spend some free time in the evening and celebrate the start of the Hike-A-Thon.
