Long View Peak, Wilderness Peak Loop — Monday, Sep. 11, 2000

Issaquah Alps > Cougar Mountain

What can I say' I am a sucker for this trail. Needed to get out of the city after work and decided on Cougar. Parked at the Wilderness Creek trailhead and headed up with a 35lb pack ( Be Prepared! ). Hit the long view lookout ( 2 mi. from car ), in an hour. Cooked up some chow ( Be Prepared! ) and headed back down to the car. The trail is a nice trip for those with only a few hours to spare in the summer. Its hard to believe not more people come to this trail. Only one blow down, which is in the initial set of switchbacks from the trailhead.
