Beautiful day on the trail! We arrived around 10:15 AM to find the parking lot nearly full, but the trail itself remained fairly quiet overall.

As we hiked, light snow began to fall, leaving a stunning dusting along the path. Despite the winter conditions, the trail had minimal ice, and traction was generally good throughout.

We followed AllTrails’ “Soaring Eagle Park Trail” route:
Double D → Sleigh Ride → NW Passage → South Trail → Princess Trail → Blue Jay Way → Pipeline Trail → Bone Trail → Terror Trail → Bear Way → Do Loop → Sleigh Ride → Pipeline Trail

Trail stats: 4.6 miles | 351 feet elevation gain

Would highly recommend this route for a peaceful winter hike!

good conditions, trails nicely marked and well kept.

I largely circumnavigated the west, south and southeast parts of the park, with some forays into the center and a side trip to Beaver Lake Preserve - covering about eight miles.

Recent rain had left puddles randomly along the trail. Most could be easily stepped around and none had formed into quagmires of mud. My favorite forest in the park, and by extension, my favorite sections of trail were in the southeast and eastern side of the part. It is my sense that east of the Pipeline trail is hillier that to the west. I met a a fair number of nice dogs and their people along the way. The weather may have deterred the bicyclists. Most of the bicyclists I saw were on the network of trails in the northern half of the park.

Lots of work has been done since the storm! The main trail (Pipeline) is clear the entire way. I took Devil's Side and it's clear as well. The trail back (Bone) has one 12-14" tree down across trail but is easy to hike around. I then went down southward, and the North trail had a couple of obstructions. Both can now be sidestepped pretty easily. See pics.

The trails are in horrendous condition - even just on the quarter-mile section I walked (Blue Jay Way; Pipeline-27). There were dozens of downed trees, including a 200-foot stretch where the tread essentially disappeared in a mess of blowdowns. I assume the other trails are similar. I would recommend avoiding the area for the next few weeks until parks staff can restore the trails.
