Innis Arden Reserve Park — Sunday, Aug. 13, 2023

Quick hike on a hot day with my 4 year old. The trail is a bit muddy in places and one of the smaller bridges has broken boarding but otherwise it’s in good condition. Not much to do at the bottom near the water other than enjoy the view of the Sound (there’s no access to the beach that I saw) but it’s shaded and cool in the ravine which was nice on a 80 plus day.

This could make for a really good training hike if you’re into backpacking or trail running. There’s a few sets of stairs I could see making a good challenge for a few ups and downs if you wanted something more intense. My 4 year old and I were good with a single trip down and back up (she was way faster than me and way less worn out when we got back to the top).
