Ralph Munro Trail

The Ralph Munro Trail (formerly McLane Nature Trail) goes north from Mud Bay Road NW along the Evergreen Parkway to the entrance to the Evergreen State College. The paved multi-use trail is popular with walkers, bikers, and runners. This trail has been used for educational projects to plant wildflowers and birdhouses. These additions have made this area attractive to birds and bird watchers.
