Northwest Recreation

Nestled against the foothills of the cascades is Orting, WA.  A small town in the Orting valley just 20 minutes from Puyallup, WA, Orting serves as a gateway to several other towns:  Buckley, Enumclaw, and Wilkeson.  Running through Orting and to the town of South Prairie is a trail about 7 miles one way. The Orting Trail is a paved stretch of land that serves as a gem to bikers, joggers, and walking enthusiasts.  Although not a difficult trail by any stretch of the imagination, it does provide a nice view of the Carbon river, including some very nice places to stop and sit on benches and view wildlife.  Here are some stats on the trail:

• Difficulty:  Easy
• Terrain:  Paved
• Length:  8 miles one way
• Environment: Urban and Scenic Roadside
• Elevation Gain/Loss:  Less than 400 feet
• Total Time: 2 hours round trip biking
• Rating:  4/5
