Ring Hill Forest — Sunday, May. 18, 2025

Puget Sound and Islands > Seattle-Tacoma Area
Owl!

Wanted a change of scenery so opted for a nature walk here with the toddler and pup. Made a loop using Raven's Watch Trail. Trails in good condition, just some muddy parts here and there but all puddles avoidable. Other notes:

  • Saw an owl perched up on a tree along Raven's Watch Trail! It just watched us as we quietly walked by.
  • The viewpoint that is marked in the map is no longer a viewpoint and I don't think has been for quite a while (see second photo posted). Nice place to post-up for a snack break though since there is a bench.
  • Parking is limited at trailhead (maybe only room for ~4 cars without blocking the entry to the trail) but only two other cars when we rolled in midday.
  • Salmonberries starting to come in but nowhere near ripe yet.
