This is a hike that has been on the radar since August of 2008. That is when I did the Federation Forest State Park trail and drove right by this one. In fact, they are listed number 56 and number 57 respectively within the book "60 Hikes With 60 Miles Of Seattle".
These hikes were too far of a drive from my previous digs in Snohomish, the payoff view didn’t sound all that impressive and the distances are just average. Now that I’m down here in Kent, it is a great opportunity to finish up the remaining southerly hikes from the book. 
Seattle in March, you don’t have much choice for pretty hikes but this was OK. We got a late start because it was so foggy until about 10:30. Evidently, many others were in the same boat. Only two other cars were in the lot when we arrived and about ten when we left. 
According to the book, this is about 6 miles. With the wrong turns I made (including a loop / that was a new one), we probably walked closer to eight miles. 
All in all, a nice hike. Next time, I think we will try to do the Federation Park hike and this hike back to back.
