Wildside Trail-De Leo Wall, Wilderness Peak Loop — Friday, Mar. 9, 2007

Issaquah Alps > Cougar Mountain

Starting at the Connector (very muddy parking) I joined the Wilderness Cliffs trail in about 15 minutes. Then took the short route to Wilderness Peak. Down a little know trail to the East Fork and then to the Claypit. From there took the Black Water back to Wilderness to complete the loop. I ran into a couple with a dog who did not understand the leash law concept and attempted to call their dog with no success whatever. This was pretty annoying as the large dog tried repeatedly to jump at me and I did a lot of yelling. They tried to follow me down ""my"" trail but eventually I lost them. Why are the dog owners so clueless and feel they are above the rules?? yuk Nice loop about 3 hours round trip
