We’ll loop around Fragrance Lake, go up the raved-about Rock Trail, visit Cyrus Gates Overlook, and enjoy many miles and many views (clouds-permitting) on the Chuckanut Ridge Trail.

  • Very Strenuous
  • Challenging
  • Mileage: 14.0 mi
  • Elevation Gain: 2,900 ft
  • High Point Elevation: 2,000 ft
  • Pace: 2-2.25, no maximum

6:45 at the southern corner of the Ash Way Park and Ride, or 7:55 at the trailhead.

It's a long hike, with many ups and downs, at a fairly good pace.
