Over-the-Hill Hike Descriptions -- Jan, 2026  

Burnt hill cabin loop   Distance 4-6.5 miles Elevation 1000'-1200' Discover Ride $3

We will park up at the first gate.(There is limited space here) We will start up the road for a bit then take a side trail that winds through the woods to the cabin.  The trail has a bit of a steady incline some areas of mud and pools of water so wear waterproof boots and gators. 

There are some nice view points where you can see over Happy Valley, out to the straits and protection island. After the cabin we will head out towards the gravel pit area and back to the yellow gates.  If people would like to end now they can choose to go back to the car or continue on to the southeast overlook for views of Sequim Bay this will add another 2 miles to the hike total.

Fri, Jan 16 Miller Peninsula to Thompson Spit  [Easy to Mod] 6-8 / ~1000’ Discover ride-$3

This out-and-back starts at the Diamond point parking lot, and proceeds to Thompson Spit.

Wed, Jan 21 Anderson Lake State Park - DNR  [Easy to Mod] 5-5.8 / 500'-829' Discover ride-$5

This DNR area at Anderson Lake State Park is a multi-use area for bikes, horses, and hikers--not used much by hikers.  There are some ramps and fun jumps to see that the bikers use; but hikers can usually walk around.  There used to be slight viewpoints; but those are getting overgrown by trees.  Look for bowling pin on one trail!  Ferns and mushrooms are fun!
