A great hike to do on a gray and drizzly day. The trees are so thick we barely got wet, and there’s no lookout points anywhere so you don’t miss the view. There were some very pretty areas on the trail. We continued to Doughty Falls, but it was dry so if you’re going down there just for the water fall don’t bother for the rest of this summer.
We were disappointed in the weather so we ended up being glad we chose this hike. A little steeper than I was expecting for an “easy” hike, but we suspect the distance to the high point was a bit shorter than 2 miles.

Note: When we arrived at the parking lot we saw two piles of broken glass. It’s just off a busy road, so be sure not to leave any valuables in your car.

Only 2 other cars at the trailhead at 9am, was getting busier when I left at 10:30. There's a few giant puddles in the middle of the trail, but it's possible to go around them without getting wet feet. 

This was a perfect quick, close (to Seattle) hike on a Sunday morning. Lots of trail runners out early and families starting to make their way to the trail. There's something for everyone. Slightly disappointed there's not a view from the peak (obviously we were warned) but that actually fit the needs to just get a quick dose of nature before needing to get back for other things! We hiked it in about an hour and a half. 

This is a really nice trail close to home that honestly exceeded my expectations. Started around 3:30pm on a sunny Monday and the lot was about half full; only passed 4 other hikers on the whole loop. Trail is in great shape, a few patches of mud here and there but it was completely fine with hiking boots. Took about an hour total. There are wildflowers and some cool boulders to look at while you're walking, making this the perfect little escape from Seattle without having to drive that far.

Arrived at the trailhead at 9am on Sunday. The parking lot was already full but there was parking still available along 900. Took the loop counterclockwise and arrived at the peak at about 9:50am. Made it back down to the car by 10:30am. Saw a few groups and solo hikers, but it was pretty quiet otherwise. About 50% of people pulled up masks when passing.
