We did a 3 to 3.5 mile loop in Soaring Eagle Park using the Pipe Line, Sleigh Ride, Do Loop, Iron Gate, Lighting, Bone and Horse trails. The route was dry and in trees.
The first thing I will note is that anyone not familiar with the Sammamish Plateau may have a problem getting to the trail head. Its a bit of a maze of roads getting to the East Main Drive Entrance. The trails in the park mirror these roads and are a bit confusing the first time through.
The positives from the hike/walk were, solitude no sounds of humans for the most part, trees and nature, some low land flowers in blooming. On our hour plus walk we met some bike riders and a solitary walker but no one else. It was a good time for reflection, conversation and introspection.
