Starting at the Sky Country trailhead, we did a loop following the trails listed above. Total mileage and elevation were 7.0 miles and 1100 feet of gain.
This makes a sweet little loop, with three waterfalls (Doughty, Far Country, and Coal Creek), and two overlooks (Long View Peak and Far Country). The falls were running well from the recent rain, and we were not rained on, so a very successful mid-week ramble at Cougar. We saw some animal prints, deer, definitely racoon, and possibly something bigger, maybe even bear?
Trails are well marked but carry a map, preferably readily accessible for quick access.
