Lynn Canyon - Lynn Loop Trail



We hiked Lynn Loop trail today and it was fantastic! The whole hike is off leash. Gus was in doggy heaven running through the forest, meeting other dogs and drinking from cold mountain streams. This is a great alternative to our Endowment lands walks. It didn't take long to get there from our place on Main street, about 30 minutes. I'm sure it would take MUCH longer if we attempted this on a weekday after work! 




The trail was fairly easy, there was about a 10 minute uphill climb at the beginning and then it evened out and the trail meandered through a forest filled with Cedar and Hemlock trees. It eventually ended up on the gravel service road that runs along Lynn Creek. All in all it was about a 1.5 - 2 hour hike and we were not going too fast, we even stopped to let the dogs have a few play sessions. 




The trail is very well maintained, and is fairly well traveled (so you're never far from other humans). I highly recommend this hike whether you have a doggy friend or not!
