Foothills Trail — Sunday, Jan. 4, 2026

Puget Sound and Islands > Seattle-Tacoma Area
Foothills Trail by Crazy4Birds

It looked like there would be a break in the rain for a few hours midday so I decided to head to the Foothills trail to get in a quick walk. I started at the North Park lot in Orting and walked east.

The trail was in good condition with only one small section that had water over the trail. I walked about 3 miles to the next trailhead then turned back. The portable toilet at the second trailhead was in decent condition.

This section of the trail has beautiful close-up views of the Carbon River and was a great way to get in some miles before the rains started back up.
