This is a nice low elevation snow free hike that can be done year round. It is managed by the City of Mount Vernon. It never gets crowded. The Darvil trailhead only holds 3-4 cars but it's rarely full.
There are 2 view points. One that looks out over the north part of the Skagit valley and includes the San Juan islands and Oyster Dome. The south view looks over the southern half of the Skagit delta.
We took the West Loop Trail on the return. This passes near the old car wreckage from the 1930's (Bonny and Clyde Tr). It also passes through a very nice old growth forest.
We ended with delicious Gorditas at Juana's Taqueria (Conway Chevron Station). This is a little dive with tasty food. They also have great local ice cream.
