Larrabee State Park - North Lost Lake Trail, Larrabee State Park - Chuckanut Falls, Hemlock Trail & Raptor Ridge Trail — Thursday, Apr. 5, 2018

Started out this afternoon from Arroyo Park, made Chuckanut Falls my first destination then I connected back to the Hemlock Trail. Continued on for about a half mile then started up the Huckleberry Trail and completed Huckleberry Trail for about 1.8 miles until I reached the Raptor Ridge Trail. Turned left up towards the Raptor Ridge Overlook. It was a very wet day. The trail had numerous puddles and mud from the overlook and the clouds where blowing thinly through the trees with the rain coming down. Without any letting up, I continued down the Raptor Ridge Trail to connect to the Hemlock Trail. Took this all the way back to Arroyo for about 3 miles with a little double backing after I had gotten turned around and started off for Lost lake at the intersect but felt that I had gone the wrong way before I made it too far down the trail. The Huckleberry Trail is a neat trail to check out with the trail navigating near old logging roads and through second growth trees that seem to be doing very well, lots of evidence of many trees that didn't make it through last season but trail crews have done a awesome job of keeping the trails cleared and free of debris. I also liked the Raptor Ridge Trail descent down to the Hemlock with little mellow switch backs along the rugged terrain, great views of trees growing along rock faces here.
