I really enjoyed this trail, and found it incredibly challenging, but that might have been because the weather was 80° on the day I went. Theres lots of lose rocks and pretty steep inclines at certain points so its definitely a hike you want to wear good shoes for and dont expect a leisurely stroll through the woods. Theres also several side hikes and at times the trails arent marked so gps is helpful.
Look out - there is a drainage canyon in the parking lot. Avoid the outhouse, its absolutely disgusting.
I hate that they allow motorbikes, but other than that a great trail. 10.3 miles round trip, kind of hard in spots. Wear the right shoes !
Love going here. Nice easy walk nature walk.
Its a long hike with decent elevation gain. The trail is fairly well marked. The views from the summit are stunning.
Great place to ride dirt bikes, mountain bikes, and trail run. Weekends are kind of busy and if you are on two wheels walkers tend to be a little cranky so be extra polite.
Ok so this is a nice place to hike, when there are no motorcycle on the trail. They also tear up the trail a bit some times to the point that it is hard to hike the trail. You must have a pass to park and they do hit this parking lot often to give ticket. I will say the view is very nice for the hike and the hike is a challenge for a short trip. If you can go on a week day that will help you with the crowds. Good luck on this hike and hope for clear skys.
Excellent trails in a lovely place to experience within the local area. You can even see Seattle in the distance.
Not huge fan of all the dirt bikers on the trail. Made enjoying the trail run hard.
Wow nice hike for the first of the year
Beautiful...but narrow trails which allow motorized vehickes..dont love that
It was nice and scenic
Very cool hike. Just keep in mind its almost 10 miles. I didnt know that when I started. Also there are mountain bikes so i wouldnt walk with headphones. You have to stay alert. But when you get to the top its gorgeous
Great local trail with a great view as payoff for the uphill. Shady and doable in hot weather. Well maintained. A fun spot to get hiking time in when you cant get to remote destinations.
Beautiful hike. Lot of logging. I hope the trees grow back
First time I road to the top with out having to push my bike!!! love green mountain! And my pedelasisist?
There were a lot of off road vehicles but its pretty
Mice relaxing hike, great views from the top
The trails are well made and fairly easy for hiking however we did this midweek in April. I think weekends in summer there would be lots of mountain bikes and 4 wheelers which might make hiking less peaceful.
Too many Mountain Bikers. Scary dudes, almost got ran over four times. Cant hear them coming. They should get their own area. No problem with the motorcycles all friendly and I could hear them coming so easy to move for them to pass.
Its okay. There are better trails in the area.
This trail is possibly one of the best Ive ever been on. Its secluded enough from the street and its big and long enough for you to not bump into other people on your walk. It is so beautiful and quiet out there. It is definately my new favorite hiking spot now.
Trailhead has many ruts from dirt bikes so bring mid top and higher boots as water is constantly running down trail at 3 inches and above in many spots, the dog loved it so we will be back to check out more trails, wildcat connects to vista trail which leads to a beautiful lookout with tables and nice views, lookout is about 4 miles from trailhead
Well worn trail lots of hikers bikers and motor bikers good breakfast at the horsecamp
Great hike for a decent challenge. Close to Silverdale and great parking. Well traveled by hikers, bicyclists, horses riders and dirt bike riders. 90 minutes to the top on foot with a wonderful view.
Great little trail system, mostly for hiking. No technical portions and over 15 miles of winding trails for a half day hike. Also, there is a convenience store and lake one mile away from the trail head to make it an all day event if desired. You will require a WA Discover pass to park and hike.
Beautiful hike but a long hike for Miles up in four miles back to climb 1600 ft
Nice trail. Some rocks and roots.
Nice lowland forest hike with gradual climb. Trails are now mixed with motorbikes, bikes and pedestrians. Makes for dished trail and the occasional hair raising event.
Real fun place to ride my dirt bike it was a blast
Beautiful... easy, relaxing day hike.
Awesome hike and motorcycle ride!
For a hiker this is not a great spot. If you are on a horse or dirt-bike You will probably score this trail much higher! We found the trail to be damaged by off-road tires and large animals so not ideal for hikers. Off-roaders enjoy!
Great spot to hang out
Really nice, well marked trail
Perfect place for trail riding Im bummed out I didnt have my dirt bike wen I found this place
Trailheads always get 5 stars. As always leave no valuables in car as this is a high car prowl area.
The viewpoint at the top is now grown over with trees and there is no view. The best you can do is stop on the way up to view the Seattle side, about 2/3 of the way. Or, you can keep going to the very ugly clear cut which offers a view of the Olympics. Overall its a lot of work for very little view. And you have to listen to the motorcycles, smell their emissions, and jump off the path at a moments notice when they roar down the trail.
Awesome hike for the family
Fun hike. Not too strenuous nor too easy.
Great trails but starting to get crowded as warm weather approaches.
Planned to go to the vista- but the gm-1 gate is closed...except on on weekends. But you dont know that until you get there.
Beautiful, well marked trail.
The trail is pretty torn up by bicycles, motorbikes, and horses, which made it abnormally arduous and difficult to walk since your feet constantly slip. If we had gone during rain, it would have been a mud pit. Also, there was poo everywhere.
Good hike with good views trail is worn in some locations. Its a mixed trails so be weary of dirt bikes and mountain bikers.
Great trails! Watch out for dirt bikes.
Excellent trail for getting the cardio working!
Its a great trail system, unfortunately some locals thing they own it and block atvs
Great hiking spot, there are sign saying its a high prowl area.
Awesome trail for hiking, biking, or just walking.. great views too..
Always peaceful never to packed
Decent place, Trail gets a little Dusty in the summer and wet in the winter, we parked overnight to Camp okay. Bathrooms available at trailhead.
Perfect for runners, mountain bikers hikers, and horses. Tons of trails to keep your feet occupied.
Decent hike, busy with motorcycles and bicyclists but a nice hike regardless.
Good trail.
Great hike close to bremerton.
Nice place to visit and hike
Watch out for motorcycles on trail
Had a great time
Rough trail. A lot of motorcycle traffic
Good Trailhead with lots of parking, easy access to the trail
Very nice place.
