North End Hikes and Walks with Dogs Saturday Morning Hike – Heybrook Ridge, Index, WA

This one is a little farther out, but not too long of a hike.
I did it in 2017 just after it opened and i think it is time to revisit it.

Heybrook Ridge is a park site located just outside the Town of Index. The 3.3 mile roundtrip trail was created in partnership between Snohomish Country Parks and Friends of Heybrook Ridge, and laid out and built by WTA volunteers, this short, moderately steep hike (Gain: 775 ft.
Highest Point: 1327 ft.) will take you through a rocky, moss covered forest to an incredible view of nearby peaks.

Getting There:

From Seattle, drive north on I-5 to Everett and take exit 194 to head east on US Highway 2. Take US-2 through Monroe and Sultan. From the traffic roundabout in Sultan, it is 10.8 miles to the bridge over the South Fork Skykomish River. At this point, be on the lookout for Index-Galena Road, which is a left turn from US-2 just 0.4 miles beyond the bridge. Follow Index-Galena Road 0.9 miles to Heybrook Ridge County Park, on your right. There is parking for 14-16 vehicles.

There is no privy. (so plan accordingly)
