~6 miles (extended) | ~700 ft gain | Cougar Mountain
https://maps.app.goo.gl/9rWhZPXo9Le6b4Gz6
This loop atop Cougar Mountain offers a rich blend of history, forest wonder, and wide views when the clouds cooperate. Once a military defense site during WWII, the high ground is now reclaimed by salal, Douglas fir, and quiet forest pathways. We'll follow gentle rolling terrain, visit viewpoints, and extend the loop slightly to stretch our legs and savor time on the mountain.
The charm of this trail is its balance — not too steep, never dull, and always offering interesting textures: cedar-shadowed switchbacks, moss-covered boulders, and birdsong echoing through soft air. It’s the kind of walk that creates friendships — not through grand effort, but through steady shared rhythm.
Bring a rain shell, a light layer, and plenty of water. Paths can be muddy in spring, so footwear with traction is recommended. As always — we walk with patience, presence, and a spirit of adventure.
We'll meet in the far north end of the north parking lot at the Green Lake Park and Ride, and directly under the I-5 freeway at 8 am. Rideshare for the day is $7 per person from the Green Lake Park and Ride, and is paid to the driver of the vehicle.
Green Lake Park and Ride: 8 am, $7
Our estimated time of arrival at the trailhead is: 8:40 am
Yes, there are two separate fees regarding this event. The event fee is $15, and then a rideshare if you are riding as a passenger with a driver.
Sorry, no doggies are allowed at any Tenderfoot Adventures events as per our insurance policy. We all love our fur babies, and I am sure that yours is amazing as well, but alas, there are no doggies allowed at any of our events.
