Description
The main loop at Grand Forest West is a short 1.2 mile trail through some pristine Bainbridge Island forests. It is not as secluded as its sister trail the Grand Forest East Main Loop, but it is just as enjoyable. There are plenty of side trails along the way that connect to other parks where you can extend your hike. Otherwise, just follow the helpful signs at the trail junctions to stay on the main trail. The best access to the trail is at the parking area on Miller Road. It has about 10 spaces available. There are other, smaller parking spots with trail access also along Miller Road.
