On Saturday, April 13, Edmonds Parks & Recreation is offering a trip to Rockport State Park, located at the base of 5,400-foot Sauk Mountain.
The ancient forest in the park was never logged, and the entire ecosystem remains in place. This is a fairly easy, 5-mile hike, with only 250 feet elevation gain.
The cost — $46 for residents, $53 for non-residents, — includes round-trip transportation from Edmonds. Ages 10 and up are welcome, under 18 must register with an adult. Call 425-771-0230 or register online at www.reczone.org.
As park staff, I can be available to introduce your hiking group to the forest if you give me an approx. time of arrival.
All trails are open with only a few muddy spots. The Evergreen Trail loop is the longest, but the largest Douglas fir tree are on the Fern Creek trail , 100 yards from old campground roadway.
Glad you cam arrange such a great outing!
