Excellent hike with great views of the creek
My family hiked the Icicle Gorge Loop Trail. There's actually two different trails starting at the trailhead, the river trail and the view trail. We took the river trail which is 4 miles in length and a relatively easy hike. This trail follows along the Icicle Creek which is a wide and fast moving creek. It was a very beautiful hike with lots of great photo opportunities. You walk across several bridges one of which is a single log bridge (pretty cool!). The hiking trail is very well developed and safe for kids and dogs. There is a $5 fee to park your car at the trailhead parking lot, but you can also use a Northwest Pass and a few other passes instead (not the Discovery Pass).

Scenery and Ticks
Beautiful and easy afternoon walk. We went end of May and wildflowers were in bloom, there is so much beauty on this trail the 4 mile loop went by quickly. The road getting there is a little bumpy and a tick tried to catch a ride home on my husband so check your person before you head out.

Icicle Gorge Trail took us about 2 1/2 hours
We did the 4.5 mile loop. Most of it was in the forest, but the parts where you crossed the river were pretty cool to see the raging rapids there. Peaceful walk. Not much elevation. Just beware that at one point we were surprised to come out on the gravel road (instead of back to the parking lot, being that it's a loop and we assumed that's where we'd end up). Thankfully a family on bikes came by and told us which way to go and then you have to be sure to go back onto the trail where you see the next sign for the Icicle Gorge trail.
