Late morning start. A half dozen cars parked at the trailhead, but I only saw five hikers. Temps in the mid seventies, mostly shaded trail. Views from the north viewpoint were hazy towards the ocean. A little better from the south view point a half mile away.
Had a nice chat with two little old ladies.
Good workout hike. :)

Morning hike up Mount Walker. There are two viewpoints, north and south. It's only 2 miles to the the north viewpoint and another flat 1/2 mile over to the south.
The trail is in excellent shape and easy to follow, though I did miss one switchback and got off on a game trail for a minute. Wildflowers are out. Views of Hood canal, Seattle, Ranier etc. were obscured by fog.
Fun hike. :)
