We set out on a fairly dreary and wet day. Was expecting a chill hike but didnt realize the trail was longer than is posted. We parked at the upper lot and made out way up to the upper trail at Martin Creek Crossover. The hike is amazingly flat so this a a great starter hike for anyone. We ended up hiking all the way to Wellington to see the concrete snowshed, which added an additional 6 miles to the hike so be prepared for that. On our way back we took the Windy Point Crossover down to lower trail. Wouldn't recommend that way as this crossover is very steep and longer than Martin Creek.
Other than that, the trail was super interesting with tons of history. I liked the idea of feeling like I was walking through an outdoor museum. We also saw a lot of beautiful flowers along the trail and a very cool looking caterpillar.
