Coal Creek Trail, Cave Hole, Quarry & Red Town Meadow & Trails — Saturday, Feb. 11, 2006

Issaquah Alps > Cougar Mountain

Sunday was a warm and sunny day; the great weather caused crowds to gather at Red Town trail head with less parking than normal available. Alpine Art, Joani, Kevin, Bob and Cody (a canine friend) took the good weather as an opportunity to do a loop to Coal Creek Falls via the old dam site on the North Fork of Coal Creek. The trails were very dry with virtually no mud, a surprise to me as several weeks before, the trails in this area had numerous mud holes. There is still plenty of water in the creeks and Coal Creek Falls was still picturesque. Cody enjoyed her day out starting with a Dick’s Cheese Burger and snacks of fresh strawberries. Lots of families, dogs and couples on the trail; everyone making the most of our brief peak at spring. Photo is of Bob, Joani and Alpine Art at Coal Creek Falls, the blur in the photo is Cody.
