Margaret's Way and Debbie's View

Due to travel I haven't posted a hike in a few months. I need to get back out there. Thursday is looking like a dry or semi dry day so far. Nice to not have to drive too far with all the snow we are forecast to get. Will be nice to see whoever can make it and catch up on life events.
The hike is 6.5 miles, roundtrip with an elevation gain of 1500 feet and is rated moderate. Highest point is 1,730 feet. Steep incline as the trail starts out.
Debbie's View is a nice lookout point with views of Mount Rainier and the surrounding foothills makes for a great rest/turn-around spot.

Toilet at trailhead. Entry pass none.

Driving directions: from I-90, take exit 15 signed Lake Sammamish/Renton Highway 900. At the stoplight at the end of the exit turn right onto Hwy 900/Renton Issaquah Road and go south toward Renton. From the stoplight drive 3.2 miles and turn left at the easy to miss driveway with a large blue Cougar Mountain Recreation sign. The large parking lot is straight ahead. Park in this lot do not continue through the gray gate.
