🦌🏔️ Seattle's Gold Creek Pond Hike
📍 Gold Creek Pond Rumor has it this trail is closing for 10 YEARS —yep, you heard that right. 🫢🙃 (*"Maintenance" for such a small trail? Hmm... the conspiracy theories write themselves.* 🤷♂️) Weekend Update: The gate was already closed, so we parked on the roadside and walked 12 minutes to the trailhead. 🌲 Trail Details - Loop distance: Super short—only ~30 minutes to complete (longer if you stop for photos!). - Scenery: Stunning for its size! Snow-capped mountains 🏔️, an emerald-green pond, and even a deer sighting 🦌 right on the path. Felt like Banff or Jiuzhaigou vibes! ⚠️ Heads Up - Parking: Roadside only now (gate closed). - Best time to go: Soon —before the *alleged* decade-long closure begins! #SeattleHikes #GoldCreekPond #PNWAdventures #EasyHike #NatureLovers #TrailConspiracy #WeekendVibes #HiddenGems
