The parking area off of Little Mountain Road only had a few cars in it when I arrived around 9 AM. The privies at the parking area are in decent shape. Full disclosure: this report does not follow the Bonnie and Clyde Loop as described. I hiked a loop that included part of the Bonnie and Clyde Trail and the other WTA guides do not include any of the trails I hiked today. 

My outbound route from the parking area was as follows: Hop Connector-->La-Z-Boy-->Cairn Trail-->Sidekick-->Nature Trail-->Cairn Trail--La-Z-Boy--Lower Surfer's Way-->Down South-->Taylor's Trail. From this point, my inbound route was West Loop Trail-->Bonnie and Clyde's Trail-->Sidewinder-->North Viewpoint Trail-->Ridge Trail-->Mossy Rock Trail-->Upper Surfer's Way-->Rooty Trail-->Hop Connector to the parking area. I stopped at the North Viewpoint and the Pickering Viewpoint for lunch and some pictures. Strava measured this route to be about 8.2 miles. 

The trails I hiked are in pretty good shape all things considered. There is some mud and water on the trail in spots. There are no trees down over any trails that I hiked, though I did see some that were freshly cut, so thank you to whomever did that. There were lots of people out hiking and riding the trails today. 

This is a beautiful trail with so many options to choose from as far as difficulty goes. I will say it is easy to get lost but also easy to find your way back eventually. All of my kids had no issues with the terrain, though there are nettles at a few points on the trail. The huckleberries were a pleasant surprise!

When my son told me he wanted to go on a hike with me, something we haven't done in far too long (I see now that my profile pic has him as a young kiddo - maybe I should change that!), I  got so excited I couldn't decide where we should go! I have so many favorites! North to Heather-Maple Pass Loop? South to Eagle Peak Saddle? East to Bandera Mt. with a bonus dip in Mason Lake? West to Dear Park to Maiden Peak?? Agonizing!! In the end, I chose somewhere new! Somewhere less intense and shorter :) When I came across Little Mt, I thought How Cute! This will be a perfect little jaunt. . and it was ; )   We parked at the East Trail head, off of Little Mountain Rd, not the main, big lot on Little Mountain Park Rd. There was room for maybe 3 cars? We were number 2, at 11 AM, so, no problem! We took Nature Trail to Cairn to La-Z-Boy to Bonnie & Clyde's to Sidewinder (Southern one) to the viewpoints-South and then North. We headed back down the way we came, with only 1 change - using Ginny's  vs Sidewinder. We were back at the car by 1:30. That included some photo stops, in particular, the car on Bonnie & Clyde's. Loved that :) Honestly, I have no idea how long it was as I didn't run any apps - I just wanted to enjoy the day and have engaging and meaningful conversation with my 21 year old son :) There are so many options on this "Little Mountain", the choose-your-own-adventure possibilities are endless. I hope you get out there and make one of your own. . and have great company and conversation as well. . .Also, I can highly recommend heading to La Conner afterward and enjoying a Harvest Quesadilla and Strawberry Rhubarb Cider (or burger and root beer!) at the La Conner Brewery and browsing Snow Goose Produce on the way back home. If only 5 South wasn't so. . . 5 South :( Blech

Lovely way to get a few miles and a bit of up and downs. Arriving around 9 some of the smaller trail heads were busy but the bigger parking lots were only 1/3 full.

Hiked along various sections- easy to navigate with these maps - every intersection had signs. Did both viewpoints that were pretty- even saw mt. Baker

Only saw one other dog - who was on a leash and well behaved.

I arrived at the large parking area off of Little Mountain Road around 9:30 and there was ample parking on a cloudy Saturday morning. The privies in the parking area are in good shape and you do not need a pass of any kind to park there. I did not hike these loops exactly as described in the WTA entries, but hiked all of the trails mentioned so they are included in this report. WTA really should add an entry just for "Little Mountain Park" to the hiking guide because there are many different ways to use the trails to cobble together a day hike to suit any need. 

From the parking area, my outbound route was Hop Connector-->Rooty Trail-->Huff & Puff-->a short walk on the Service Road-->Sidewinder to the viewpoints-->Ginny's Trail-->Bonnie & Clyde's-->West Loop-->Up Quick-->Ridge Trail to the viewpoints and lunch.

From the viewpoints, my inbound route was Ridge Trail-->Mossy Rock-->Upper Surfer's Way-->Lower Surfer's Way-->La-Z-Boy-->Cairn Trail-->Nature Trail-->Sidekick Trail-->Cairn Trail-->La-Z-Boy-->Hop Connector to the parking area. Strava measured my route to be about 8.8 miles in length and I arrived back at my car around 2:30 PM. 

All the trails are in great shape with no obstacles of note. There is only a little bit of mud in a few small areas but nothing to worry about. There were several people out hiking and biking today but the trails never felt crowded.
