Wow! We ended up hiking with the pups every weekend in January and I'm super proud of them. We've hiked from this trailhead at Cougar Mountain a couple times before, but with such an extensive trail system we were able to make a new, 7.8 mile loop out of it.
We started at the Sky Country Trailhead at 11:00 am on a Saturday. There was still plenty of parking available with a handful of people leaving as we arrived. No pass is required.

There were a good amount of people hiking and running, but the trail never felt crowded. Lots of good doggos off leash, too. We decided to give Toby a try at hiking off leash and he did great!
Andy mapped out a great loop, taking us to Cougar Mountain Lookout, Doughty Falls, and Coal Creek Falls. Turns out I didn't take many pictures this time around.
