Little Mountain Hike
Skagit County, WA
Along the trails of Little Mountain
Even my color-blind eyes can see all the green
and photos do not accurately depict how massive that tree truck is!
January in the Pacific Northwest is considered part of the rainy season. Fortunately I was aware of this and came prepared for hiking in the rain. I also knew that I could usually avoid the heaviest rain by planning hikes inside the "Olympic Rain Shadow".

I started my day with a little hike up to Cap Sante Park. Not much of a sunrise this morning, but still a beautiful spot to start the day!

For my main hike, I stuck to the rain shadow area and headed to Little Mountain Park near Mount Vernon, WA.

Here is the GPS track from my hike. I started at the Darvil trailhead (bottom of track along East Hilcox Road).
There is a nice assortment of trails throughout the park. All the trails are well marked, maintained, and easy to follow. Here are some of the photos from my hike:
