Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park

Fodor's Review:

This spectacular park in the "Issaquah Alps" has more than 36 mi of hiking trails and 12 mi of bridle trails within its 3,000-plus acres. The Indian Trail, believed to date back 8,000 years, was part of a trade route that Native Americans used to reach North Bend and the Cascades. Thick pine forests rise to spectacular mountaintop views; there are waterfalls, deep caves, and the remnants of a former mining town. Look for deer, black bears, bobcats, bald eagles, and pileated woodpeckers, among many other woodland creatures.
