February 7, 2021January 17, 2021Very well marked! Take a photo of the trail map at head of 215 and you will be able to navigate in any direction! Spectacular views from the top too!

December 30, 2020December 29, 2020Great hike, definitely some good ups and downs went at the end of December and it was chilly but not too bad and you definitely can work up a good sweat. Highly recommend especially on a nice sunny day for some great views all the way up to Mount Erie.
December 24, 2020Loved it, gets technical toward the top, wear appropriate shoes or boots, had fun walking through water and mud
December 24, 2020December 20, 2020Very nice! Super rooted, but overall very nice! Hiked it on a wet day, slightly slippery!
December 11, 2020December 8, 2020Quick hike requiring very little effort for pretty spectacular views of the island and distant views of the Olympic Mountains and San Juan Islands. There is also an access road leading to the top but the trail is well kept and well worth the hike to the top.
December 7, 2020December 6, 2020It was a great hike. I hadn’t been on the trails for quite some time. I’ve also put on 50 lbs and was able to complete this loop. I started where I stopped but didn’t realize I wasn’t recording. This is a great hike if you have moderate physical capabilities.
November 29, 2020Great trail. A good bit up hill for the first half to warm you up. The view at the Mt Erie lookout was amazing. It was super clear and we could even see Rainier in the distance. A lot of bald eagles at the top. Got there at 1040 on a Sunday and found parking just fine (but the morning was foggy and cold so that probably kept ppl home). Trail was a little muddy but nothing bothersome.
November 26, 2020November 20, 2020November 8, 2020Hike: moderate hike, mostly covered in trees. Some short very steep inclines Views: views from the top of both peaks is pretty great. Saw lots of mushrooms on the way up Parking: reached around 8:30AM - lots of empty spaces Trail conditions: very well maintained trail

October 11, 2020Great trail system. Be sure you know which trails you need to follow (either through downloading the All Trails map, or take a picture at the trailhead), because there are so many options and loops. But it was a great, well-maintained trail and easy to follow.
October 10, 2020September 27, 2020This trail system is very nice. Lots of options for exploring. Trail is in great shape, except for a tree down.
September 26, 2020Went on 26 Sept. It was a weekend, but rainy, so I only encountered a few people on the trail. I diverged from the Sugarloaf+Erie loop and went to the other two "peaks" in the park, Sugar Cube and Little Round Top, as well as Whistle Lake. I set out late in the day, but these trails are pretty easy and one could hike around the whole park in a day easily. On a clear day, the views would be amazing at Erie and Sugarloaf as well, both of which are pretty easy hikes.
September 10, 2020Great hike! Saw an owl and lots of chipmunks. Also went to Whistle lake.
