Old Miners Trail, Fred's Railroad, Shy Bear, Deceiver & Long View Peak — Thursday, Feb. 22, 2024

Issaquah Alps > Cougar Mountain
Beautiful sunny day at Cougar Mountain

Started hiking from the Sky Country Trailhead a little before 3 p.m. Took the Old Man's Trail to the Bypass Trail to Fred's Railroad Trail. Headed to Shy Bear Pass and then to Long View Peak. You couldn't see much through the trees at the peak, but it was a beautiful day and just nice to sit on the bench for a while. From there, took the Deceiver Trail to Doughty Falls before getting back on the Shy Bear Loop and heading back to the parking area. Passed Klondike Marsh right before sunset, which was lovely. Made it back to the parking lot in about 2.5 hours, clocking around 5.5 miles.
