Then I entered the trail and the fun began! It was so empowering to be there solo and have the freedom to run without feeling too much fear for my safety. The trail was non technical and not much elevation but had fun things to see around every twist. There were several log bridges of different shapes and sizes, and several tree "obstacles" throughout the 7 mile out and back trail. I came across the historic Lime Kiln rather unexpectedly, and then was hesitant to continue through the mucky mud to get to the "extra" loop I was supposed to do at the end of the trail. But I persevered, and I am so glad that I did! There was a huge rushing waterfall on the Stillaguamish River and a rather primitive little loop that was well worth the effort! It was a blast - I would love to run that again in the summer! How empowering this run was for me - feeling well prepared if anything went wrong and so much freedom to explore the beauty of our area.
