    Tips

    Entirely paved with restrooms and water at each trailhead. Watch out for pedestrians in more urban areas.



    Be sure to exit trail onto the highway (410) right before the cemetery in Buckley. There is a trestle missing and the signage doesn't indicate the trail is incomplete. There is a nice picnic table at the end of the trail and then ... nothing. You can pick the final Enumclaw portion of the trail up just past 244th Ave SE.

      The Foothills Trail sits atop a historic railroad bed and snakes through the river valley southeast of Tacoma.

        Very nice trail from just south of Sumner around a big loop through Orting and up to Buckley.

        The best section is a loop-de-loop S-curve to climb a hill between South Prairie and Buckley - very secluded and completely tree-lined. Once you get to Buckley, you need to turn around because there is a missing bridge to cross over into Enumclaw. It would be a welcome addition, as the highway is heavily trafficked with extremely fast, loud trucks who don't give much passing room. Proceed with care.
