Trail Running: Fort Steilacoom Park 4.2mi perimeter loop. Point Defiance 'Square' loop = 4.1mi, 'Triangle Loop' = 3.4mi. Mount Pete/Peak Enumclaw - 1000k climb/trail run, 29mile drive to parking lot from north Tacoma. Green Mountain near Bremerton - 1100k climb/bike/run, about 21 mile drive from north Tacoma. Capitol Peak near Oly provides a 1700'gain on bike/run, but I haven't recorded the drive mileage.

 

As for actual 'mountain' adventure, the closest access east is Carbon River/Mowich Lake at MRNP - about a 55 minute drive from north Tacoma. If you want to drive west you can make it to the Cushman Lake area trailheads in about 70 minutes. Note: It is always shorter to drive across the Narrows and through Gorst/Belfair than to go through Oly/Shelton. Always.

 

Have fun.
