Total Time: 1:15 hour
Estimated Distance: 2.3 Miles
Pros: Good climb with nice view
Cons: None
I had not had a chance to go hiking over thr weekend, so I left work early on this weekday evening for a short hike up Kakiat, to the upper summit. It was still too early for the sunset, but it was already full shade and cooler on this warm day.
I parked at the main Kakiat parking area, and took the Mountain Trail up the steep ascent to the summit view. After the view, I continued along the Mountain Trail past the power line, to the Kakiat Trail. I climbed down the mountain on the Kakiat Trail, passed the gas line at the bottom, and then took the spur to the Old Mill Trail for a short distance to the end of the trail, and then back to my car.
