Little Mountain Park - Darvill Loop — Monday, May. 8, 2017

My fun hiking friend and I decided to take a little trip from Seattle to do this hike. I just recently discovered it through a WTA trip report. We parked at the first trailhead you see going up the road. We took the Rooty Trail to Huff-n-Puff, then Sidewinder to the first viewpoint, then on to the second one. There are two viewpoints with different views of Skagit Valley and the islands. We descended via Ginny's Trail, Sidewinder, Bonnie & Clyde's Trail and back to the car via Rooty. This hike wasn't crowded, and the trails were good. There's a rusty old car on the Bonnie & Clyde Trail that we didn't even know about! Make sure you take a screenshot of a map before you start. The trails are pretty well marked, except we got a little confused when we first descended. My hiking partner fortunately had a GPS unit so we didn't end up wandering aimlessly! There are many trails, and some were steeper than others. We did 4.2 miles with 470 feet elevation gain. Next time I'm going to do the Up Only Trail!
