5/16/15 - Return to North Tiger Mountain - Tradition Lake

Today is Saturday, and we returned to our Tradition Lake hike with Jessica. We had such a great hike on Wednesday, that we decided to return for even more hiking in the Issaquah Alps. This time we also included the Big Tree trail. Any guess as to what that trail includes? Yep, a 400 year old Douglas Fir. Again, I highly recommend these trails for hiking with kids near Seattle.

We ended up hiking a total of 5 miles. Notice the "Map my run" app goofed up a few times at one spot, but otherwise it shows our route for the day.

Luke, Claire, Jessica, Levi

Well maintained trails.

Part of the trail area is through utility clearings.

A moment at Round Lake.

Bus Trail? Oh yeah, an abandon bus in the middle of the woods. Hmmm...
