This trail offers a great opportunity to see birds of the sage and riparian habitats. We should have an opportunity to see and hear many nesting birds, and it's highly likely we'll spot some raptors as well. The trail is rocky but fairly even going and not considered difficult. Wear hiking shoes, bring a lunch, & snacks. It may be a warm day of hiking so definitely bring an ample amount of liquids. Bring spotting scopes if you have them. Meet before 6:00 a.m. at the Issaquah Tibbetts P&R.
