Trip Report

Terrace Trail - Newcastle, CrossTown Trail - Newcastle — Saturday, Apr. 13, 2024

Issaquah Alps > Cougar Mountain

Meet Sky, our rescue pup. She's a 5 month old originally from Louisiana that we adopted through Doggone Seattle. We were very sad when Maddy passed away 2 months ago so Sky has brought new joy to our household!

The Terrace Trail is officially closed because of a recent rock fall at the very beginning of the trail. Apparently a fairly large Boulder tumbled down the stairs leading up to the trail. The Boulder must have been quite large because some of these solid wood steps were partially crushed. The City of Newcastle deemed it unsafe and so closed the trail. As an alternative you can take the Crosstown Trail. Some of the flowers appear to have been eaten by critters .

Did you find this trip report helpful?

Bob and I are so sorry to read of Maddy's passing and hope Sky will be a good hiking companion for you both. She is very cute. Was this her first hike?

She has been on several short hikes. This was her first Cougar hike. She poops out after about 4 miles now but it wont be long before she wont tire easily. She's a smart girl and is very affectionate.

We are glad we were able to meet Maddy, you and Sherilynn and your friends, Monte and Laurie, for a short meander at Catherine Creek in April of 2022. It will be fun to watch Sky grow as we read your hiking adventures!
