Its the easy hike to start over just 1 hour away from Seattle in snowqualmie river, hiked with my 2.5 year old, had to carry her on my shoulders as we were not carrying our bag pack, not a stroller friendly hike please make sure you are carrying a backpack if hiking with younger kids, fall views are okay okay, looks great from the distance from first lookout point. We went on a sunny day so trail was okay but it will definitely be muddy during rains. Best to hike early morning or late evening because it gets crowded during the day lot of people and kids you can see on hiking trail.
