Beautiful place. Great for mountain biking up to Alpine Tunnel or to Juanita Hot Springs. Lots of trees. Only wifi we could find in town was the corner store. Pond close by stocked with fish for the kids. There are some 4 wheelers that can be noisy at times but pros outweighs the con. Does not seem like a drought area. Very green and lysh.

Start breathing early and drink..steady climb but terrain not too rough. Kept in low gear during climb. I'm 72. Photos taken on further from trailhead.
