Spent the day laying out a reroute on Little Mountain right off of the Bonnie and Clyde trail right at the Fred's trail intersection. I think this reroute will be great and eliminate some sketchy areas of West loop. Bonnie and Clyde trail is such a fun trail. Seeing the old car and safe at the bottom of the hill. I may try and come ride this trail with my cyclocross bike. Note, while hiking out a tree had come down at some point during the day while we were working creating an obstacle on the trail. There was no wind and this tree had come down so always stay alert out there!

Hiked the Bonnie and Clyde trail to Sidewinder and ended up at the North viewpoint.  Foggy day but had the trail practically to myself.  As always, the trails are in great condition.

This hike is the perfect for day hiking and is very easy to get to! You can either park at the very bottom and hike your way up to reward yourself with the views, or if you are short on time you can drive to the top for the instant gratification of the two viewpoints. We parked at the top since we showed up at 2pm and from there had seversl options to hike down trails and loop back up and around. Parking was limited at the top of the park, but luckily you can park off to the side on the main road coming up of you have a truck. There we no bugs during our hike and the trails are kept up really well! I highly recommend this hike for day hikers and mountain bikers!!

Left the car at the first switchback on Little Mountain Rd, where there was space for half a dozen cars total, and perhaps more along the road.

Hiked up along the Julieann trail and Fred's Trail. Both are hiker-only, and latter appeared to be more of a climber's trail than a "hiking" trail... Had a look at both viewpoints on top, and headed down along the Ridge Trail, before somehow ending up on Bonnie & Clyde's (not much signage here, and many small, unofficial trails).

There was a small crowd at the top, but not many people on the trails.

If you're looking for a close in dose of woods, this is a good choice. There are lots of trails to choose from and some nice views in good weather. We parked at the North parking lot by the gate. There is parking for3 cars  and a loo, plus a couple more parking spots on the road. We took the Rooty trail, then the Up only, then checked out the North viewpoint, no Baker today. From there we took the Sidewinder to the top viewpoint and the tower you see from the freeway. Down the Ridge trail to the road, then down the road to Upper and Lower Surfer trails and out on the Lazy Boy. Most of these trails are in woods, there are some nice rotten old growth stumps that give an indication of the size of the trees that were once here. We ate lunch on a nice log, then continued back to the parking lot. To be honest, I was cold, it was windy and I really didn't get a lot of enjoyment on trail today, this was mostly a fitness hike. Luckily we missed the rain. I'm guessing we did about 5 miles altogether. Take a picture of the map at the TH. I"m posting a picture of the map so you can find the other trailheads, there are 4 on the north end(pictured on my map pic) on one on the southern end by the Darvil trail (not on my map pic).
