Tradition Lake Loop — Saturday, Mar. 16, 2024

Issaquah Alps > Tiger Mountain
Direction sign

What an amazing morning to be outside hiking! This was my first hike with the Mountaineers as part of the Go Hike series and it was a great intro! I arrived at the Highpoint trailhead at 7:15am with about half the lot full. By the time we started hiking at 7:30 the lot was just about full. It was totally full and people were parked down the road when I left around 10:30.   

I had thought about doing this loop alone before, but I was happy to be with a group with a leader who knows the area because I'm sure I would have gotten lost on my own! We covered the Swamp Monster, Adventure, Bus, and around the Lake Loop, amongst other trails. The trail was in good condition with minimal mud. It's mostly flat with a few ups. We only a saw a couple other groups despite the amount of cars in the parking lot.  Overall it was a great morning!

AllTrails had us at 3.64mi roundtrip.
