Pine and Cedar Lakes Loop

Starting from the Pine and Cedar Lake parking lot, the trail starts off wide, rocky, and very steep as you pass by a couple streams on your left side. Keep following the trail until you hit the first split at about 1 mile. It is marked, and both ways rejoin at the exact same spot. The right fork option is steeper, shorter, and more succinct, and the left option is slightly longer and more gradual. From there it is only another 0.75 miles to the top of the trail where you'll be greeted with a T. The top is marked, and if you go left you'll keep following signs for Pine and Cedar Lakes. Right will take you down Hemlock Trail and back towards N. Chuckanut Trailhead. From there, take the next left, climb up and then descend down to Cedar Lake. After that you'll keep working your way down the trail toward Pine Lake, then go to the lookout, and work your way back the way you came.
