About this event
Licorice Fern Trail to Far Country Falls Hike
Thursday, June 19th, 1 pm
A short easy, yet moderate trail on the south spur of Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park.
Hiking Licorice Fern Trail to junction with Indian Trail, then continuing to Far Country Trail then continuing to the Far Country Falls Overlook for a peekaboo view of the surrounding suburban landscape.
- 3.5 mile trail with 290 ft elevation gain.
- This trail is quite a Roller Coaster and more challenging than its mileage and elevation gain suggests.
- Happy Hour dinner social afterwards at Jay Berrys outdoor patio (weather permitting) on SR-900 and 164th Ave SE, Renton, WA
- WTA Pro Tip: Save a copy of our directions before you leave! App-based driving directions aren't always accurate and data connections may be unreliable as you drive to the trailhead.
Getting There
From Seattle, take I-90 East to exit 15 and make a right onto 17th Ave, which later becomes Renton/Issaquah Road. Drive for about four miles, then turn right onto SE May Valley Rd. Shortly after, make a sharp right onto SE 112th St. This road soon becomes 169th Ave SE as it turns left. The trailhead will be on that curve, on your right hand side--look for the hiker sign. Park along 169th Ave.
From I-405, exit onto Coal Creek Pkwy. Head
south to May Valley Rd. Turn left and continue 2.3 miles,
merge onto SE 112th St, then turn left onto 169th Ave SE.
Note: As you enter the trail, you will see three potential routes: one paved on the left, one gravel straight ahead, and a grassy one on the right. Continue on the gravel trail, and you will soon find a second hiker sign.
