Great hike today with Carl. We went up the Change Creek Trail, took the Pond shortcut to the Olallie bike trail (still not officially open) to the Great Wall, south to the service road, east along that road a mile or so, then north to Songbird Peak.  Same route back.

Perfect day. It was cool and cloudy in the early going, just right for that steep beginning, but by the time we got to the bike trail the sun was out and the views were incredible.

13.1 miles, about 3,600 feet of elevation gain, a really nice hike.

Here is the track:
