April Hikes: 2.5 - 5 miles, 250 - 1,000 feet gain - Little Mountain Park

We will hike at a leisurely pace, taking breaks when needed. Little Mountain Park is beautiful and accessible all year long. A lot of the hiking spots areas near the Seattle area get snowed over or become difficult to reach in the winter, but the trails on Little Mountain are always available. Few hiking spots near Seattle contain such a variety of trails and you could spend nearly the whole day on Little Mountain and not hike every one of them. Cascadia Weekly’s Best of Skagit 2016 issue listed Little Mountain Park as Skagit Valley’s best spot for hiking, and that’s true in all seasons.We will visit 2 lookouts  where we can stop and have a snack while enjoying the views. 

There are facilities at the parking lot and at the lookout.

If you have hiking poles you may find them useful as the trails are 'rooty' in some places.

My Goals:

• Have fun, rain or shine!

My Expectations:

• All are prepared to hike whatever the weather.
•  Group stays together (to se one another at all times) and supports one another.
• That we treat one another with respect, compassion and understanding.
• That you're on time at the parking lot prepared and ready to be social and
• engaging.

My Style:

• Hike at a pace comfortable for all. Appreciate nature and pointing out the beauty we see around us. I’m a leader that appreciates engaged participants
