All (but a few, and those were being worked on by King County crews today) blowdowns and debris from the recent "bomb cyclone" event have been sawn and removed from the trails. Trails traveled: Whittaker Wilderness Peak Trail, Gombu, Shy Bear, Deceiver, and Wilderness Cliffs Trail.
This route is an excellent winter escape & conditioner. You do hear faint highway noise and shots from the rifle range so not exactly a wilderness experience. There is excellent signage and little trail traffic during the week.
