55Wonderful hike for my friend and I with our two city pups, 3hrs was enough time for us to the full hike while our dogs sniffed every blade of grass. Beautiful scenery and the directions were very clear and helpful. We will definitely be back in the future!
55We had so much fun at this spot. The host was so nice and gave helpful instructions for the hike up the mountain. The dogs had the best time and looooooved running around the forest and through the grass. This is a perfect spot for a nice beautiful hike.
55A Beautiful morning hiking and had a great time as always. There were muddy spots on the trail, but my dogs were splashed mud and enjoyed. The creek has enough water flow, and could mud off.
55Beautiful spot and a great hike!
55Great hike, my dog had a blast on a muddy rainy day!
55Brad was super helpful with hike directions and warned us that trail was muddy. But everything was well marked and passable. We had a great time! Took about 1 hour and 40 minutes to complete the full out and back hike with a few chuck-it breaks. Some inside dogs were audible when we parked but definitely no dogs or people were around while we hiked. Will be back for sure!
55Great hike!
55What a cool space to share on Sniffspot! Took my two large dogs along the trails and up to the overlook. Glad I reached out to the owner, as he mentioned the trail conditions and made some recommendations. My dogs and I had a blast!
55Loved this Sniffspot! our pup enjoys hiking, because of his reactivity its really difficult to take him on hikes. We all truly enjoyed our morning.
55So fun! We were there an hour and definitely could have been there longer to explore more. I brought 7 dogs ranging from 5 mo to 10 years and they all had a blast. There were some walking sticks in the beginning and would def recommend grabbing one. During the rainy season some of the steeper parts are a bit slippery. Overall a great visit.

Location

Mount Vernon, Washington

Description

22 forested acres with private trails and an open field area located in the power line clearing. Includes private land access to state forest trails with views. Once you park you will see the trail entrance into the forest in front of you. Take the trail down to the creek. Water levels in the creek vary depending on the time of year. Cross the creek using the foot bridge and head through the forest. In about .3 miles you will come out into the powering line clearing. Feel free to explore everything in front of you and to the left (north). There are several wide open grass spaces in the power line to play fetch or just let the dogs run and be dogs. I will send you detailed instructions for the hike up the mountain upon request. This is a real hike and I recommend hiking attire. Please bring water for yourself and your dogs. The hike is about 3.5 miles and 800 feet of elevation gain. I recommend booking at least 2 hours to complete. If you want to hang out and enjoy the views you may want to book more than 2 hours.

The first 100 yards of the trail follow the road. Please keep your dogs leashed until you get past that area unless you have perfect recall.
