Coal Creek Falls

Difficulty: Easy
Distance: 6 Mile Loop


Hiking on Cougar Mountain, which is where you will find Coal Creek Falls, is like hiking on a complicated spider web: there is a labyrinth of over 36 miles of trail to explore. It's best to either map out your route before you go, or if they are available grab a map at the trailhead, so you will not be putting in a lot of hiking time trying to get yourself back to your car. If you have the time there are also some old mine shafts you can see, and an old mine cave. It's closed to going inside, but still cool to look at. The trails up here are very well maintained and super easy to hike on, all you have to do is decide how adventurous you want to be and how many miles you want to log.

Poo-Poo Point

Difficulty: Moderate
3 miles round trip



This is a great little hike on the back side of Tiger Mountain, off the Issaquah/Hobart Road. As this trail was made for paragliders to get to their jumpsite, it is very well maintained and easy to hike on. As a matter of fact, on this particular hiking day someone was out working on the trail perfecting it.
