After Bellevue High point, I took advantage of clear skies and made my way to my second summit of the day and another one I added late to my "Every Single Summit" project, Newcastle Hills.
I approached this time from Talus Drive and used the trails listed to make my way to the summit of this forested knob. The trails are in good shape with some minor blowdowns and muddy spots. It was a delightful jaunt though with the blue sky above and easy going manner of the Cougar Mountain Trails.
This was summit #9 of my planned 16 in the project.
14.5 miles with 3,000' of cumulative gain from my front door.
