Great and unexpectedly dry hike today on the Wilderness Peak Loop.

Overall the trail is in really good condition, only a bit of mud, didn't see any signs of spring yet. No blowdowns around the loop.

One thing I did want to mention is that there was a bit of snow at the high point of the loop where the junction is and at wilderness peak. It's a very short distance and I'm sure it will melt in a day or two of warm weather, but I was surprised so wanted to let others know. We did fine with just poles. I had my microspikes since they live in my pack in winter and spring but didn't need them.

Lovely hike, after a mile or so it is easy to forget you are even near a city.  The road noise disappears and you are fully immersed in the forest sounds and sights.  
I love that I can drive a short distance from home for an urban hike that lets me escape the noise and bustle of city life, and gain all the benefits of some time in nature!

The parking lot was pretty full at 9am on a Saturday. Lots of broken glass on the ground, so be careful with kids and pets. The trail was a bit muddy, but otherwise in great shape. We saw quite a few people on this loop, and it was very popular with trail runners. When we got back to the parking lot around 1:30, there were cars parked along the road. No evidence of new break-ins that we could see.

Arrived at the TH at 0800 with a few cars in the lot.  Although it had been raining the trail was in great shape with only a few muddy spots (no big issues), a few large puddles (no big issues), and very few people out and about. Our recent wind storms have taken down several trees, however, all have been cleared, leaving an easy route to hike. The trails are fairly well marked and with map in hand (paper or electronic) there are endless low elevation hikes that can be done in this area. Total mileage was between 6.5-7 and a gain of 1500-1700 feet, based on which app I used.

Returned to the parking lot about noon to find a few parking spots left and no car issues.
