Issaquah Alps > Cougar Mountain

Ran Cougar Mountain this morning starting from Sky Country TH. A little lingering snow made some of the trails quite muddy, though the snow itself posed no issue.

More significantly, there are dozens of small to very large trees down across the trails listed above (the photos provide a sampling). Some of the downed trees were difficult to cross (crawling over/under logs, unstable footing, tripping hazards, etc.) and may pose issues for small children, individuals with mobility challenges, or those who just don't feel like climbing over logs. I imagine clearing will begin soon, but be careful out there in the meantime!
