Unfortunately no sign on the trail and I went straight when I should’ve turned....

Be warned! Ticks are abundant!!! I stopped counting after removing over 200 ticks from myself, my hiking partner, and my dog.

I ran around 5.5 miles following the Stubblefield Loop Trail on Saturday. The trail is wide and resembles an old road most of the way. There were lots of puddles along the way, but they were mostly avoidable and it was definitely snow-free. I saw only one other pair walking the loop but several folks on the pine loop trail. I brought both my dogs and kept them leashed the entire time, as required.

Hiked 7 miles using auto loop and trails intermittently. Trails are almost snow and ice free with very little standing water also. This  is a great place for groups, kids, families or anyone looking to avoid winter trail conditions and get some miles in hiking.

The Pine Lakes loop hike was the culmination of our 4-day eastern Washington day hiking expedition. It was the nicest hike with the best trail conditions. We identified 19 different bird species including a pair of nesting trumpeter swans. The walk is along the Pine Lakes at first, then makes a big loop through grassy uplands to Stubblefield Lake, then returns to the Pine Lakes. After a brief stop at the visitor center, we drove the auto tour which has several short hikes along it. These also rewarded us with bird sightings and flowers in bloom. All the hiking amounted to about 9 miles, which left plenty of time for the 4-hour drive back to Seattle.
