๐ฆ๐๏ธ Seattle's Gold Creek Pond Hike
๐ Gold Creek Pond Rumor has it this trail is closing for 10 YEARS โyep, you heard that right. ๐ซข๐ (*"Maintenance" for such a small trail? Hmm... the conspiracy theories write themselves.* ๐คทโโ๏ธ) Weekend Update: The gate was already closed, so we parked on the roadside and walked 12 minutes to the trailhead. ๐ฒ Trail Details - Loop distance: Super shortโonly ~30 minutes to complete (longer if you stop for photos!). - Scenery: Stunning for its size! Snow-capped mountains ๐๏ธ, an emerald-green pond, and even a deer sighting ๐ฆ right on the path. Felt like Banff or Jiuzhaigou vibes! โ ๏ธ Heads Up - Parking: Roadside only now (gate closed). - Best time to go: Soon โbefore the *alleged* decade-long closure begins! #SeattleHikes #GoldCreekPond #PNWAdventures #EasyHike #NatureLovers #TrailConspiracy #WeekendVibes #HiddenGems
