Trail Info: This is the quintessential hike for the Seattle area. Located with easy access from Seattle, only 3 miles off of 90, this huge lurking mountain sits behind the city of North Bend. The trail climbs up and up and up. There are around 30 switch backs with a small section of 200 yards that is flat. We arrived at the trailhead at noon, waited around for Nate cause he was stuck in traffic and left at 12:45. We got to the top around 3pm and were back down in the parking lot by 4:30. Fog socked in the mountain top but briefly cleared from some great views.
