Today we hiked around Rattlesnake Lake, part of the Cedar River Watershed. This hiking spot also has an excellent Educational Center set up by the Seattle Public Utilities. The kids were able to do a story-time and craft at the Educational Center this afternoon. This trail is most famous for the 1200 foot elevation gain climb up to Rattlesnake Ridge, which we did not do with the children. Although it was cold and raining, we were able to hike about 1.5 miles total around the lake and take in the impressive winter scenery. This was a great location and we expect to return this summer.

Step carefully.
