Mima Mounds Natural Area Preserve, Olympia

This was my first time going on a real hike. It was pretty awesome being in the middle of nowhere in the forest. The weather was beautiful but there wasn't much water coming out of the waterfall since there hasn't been any rain. I was shocked that people actually do this for fun. There were some trails that were 22 miles long! I was told this hike trail was "moderate" in difficulty. I encountered two areas where I was huffing and puffing though. I wish there were more signs to lead the way to the waterfall. The signs that were available were pretty awesome because they included a map.

Cool hike. If your into geology you might be interested in checking these out. They can't figure out how or why the Mounds are there. The hike is good for all ages. Some if the trail is gravel but no real hills or much elevation change.
