Trail closure - Lime Kiln Trail

**Update as of 7/29/2014 - According to many trip reports on WTA.org, the trail is not closed 2 miles in, despite signs (and the Snohomish County Parks website) saying otherwise. Many reviewers hiked the trail with children and had no problem with the trail conditions. Keep in mind that there are steep, narrow parts along the trail, so make sure to supervise your kids to avoid accidents. :-)
I ran across this trail closure today and wanted to let you know about it. The Snohomish County Parks and Rec page has the following posted about the Lime Kiln Trail:

* TRAIL ADVISORY *     DUE TO SLIDES AND UNSTABLE CONDITIONS,THE LIME KILN TRAIL IS CLOSED FOR ALL USE AT THE WASH OUT AT APPROXIMATELY 2 MILES IN.  THE BRIDGE, NEAR THAT LOCATION, WILL ALSO BE CLOSED FOR MAINTENANCE APRIL 14th-18th, 2014

This is a fabulous trail and I hope that they are able to get a safe path around the slide area soon! I would check the Snohomish County Parks and Rec Page or the Lime Kiln Trail Reports on the WTA site for updated info.

Here is a picture of the lime kiln from the last time we hiked there in 2012.

Stay safe!
