A short hike, but a nice workout. About 4 miles R/T, 2000 ft. South launch is a nice meadow, overlooking Rainier and Olympic (of course, not seen today). North launch is a bit further, with a bright green plastic carpet for the paragliders, overlooking Lake Sammamish, Squak Mt., houses and highway.
Direction: I-90 exit 17, south for about 3 miles. An parking area of about 20 cars on the east side. A nice map.
