An attempt to summit Eaglet in the winter.
Lorey, Roscoe, and I head out to the historic Lime Kiln Trail in western Washington state. "The Lime Kiln Trail is a lovely winter hike at low elevation, with lots
of moss, fungus and railroad artifacts. The trail is carved out of the
Everett & Monte Cristo railroad grade and features gurgling creeks,
an historic lime kiln, twisted iron railroad railings, and a walk down
to the banks of the thunderous Stillaguamish."http://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes-of-the-week/lime-kiln-trail
Nice trail. A lot of snow near lake, but not impossible and hard to get lost with number of people who have used it.

This trail was a low incline, easy hike. Along the way are old railway artifacts and an abandoned lime kiln at the trails end the trail loops around a nob hill and there is a small extension to where the old bridge used to be. The cement stanchions are still there.
