Mine Shaft Trail — Monday, Apr. 4, 2016

Issaquah Alps > Cougar Mountain

For Spring, the trails on Cougar Mountain were quite dry. I spent most of the day hiking around Cougar Mountain just to experience the area. Still been knew to hiking, Cougar Mountain offers plenty of elevation gain in certain spots to get the lungs going and the blood pumping. 

Jerry's Duck Pond was one destination on my hike. Seeing the launch site and learning about the history out here was another destination on my life. The vegetation was thick in some place, other places it was not. 

There isn't much else to report on these hikes other than Cougar Mountain is a wonderful place to hike around to get away from the city life for a day. The trails are well maintained and the forest canopy above does offer in some light in places. If it's raining, wear rain gear if you'd like to stay dry.
