First time I have been on this trail and it was beautiful. During the week it isn't too busy and there was plenty of parking. There are spots to mountain climb on the trail, I am not brave enough for that so I just kept hiking. The views from the top are beautiful and plenty of spots to rest and even have a picnic if you want. I highly recommend this hike for beginners like me.

Hike was fine. Trail is in good condition. Slightly low visibility of North Bend at the top, namely due to the fog.

There were some origami cranes scattered around and also on the floor - which isn't necessarily great. (Leave no trace, please)

It was a nice hike and terribly crowded. My only complaint is that some jerk(s) left paper cranes EVERYWHERE on the trail/in the trees. I’m assuming they are meant to have some meaning of hope, but I live by “leave no trace,” and found them distracting and invasive.

HOT 'N' MUGGY.

I arrived shortly after 11am and parked in the main lot. The smoke was moderate. The weather was also warm with little breeze, so we got very sweaty. Climbed at World Wall, check out @deannamolenda on Instagram to check out the hard work she's putting in. 

We arrived around 7am, lots of parking open. Hike was very rocky in places but nothing too crazy.
