I have hiked up to Quarry Rock several times in the past year and I enjoy the length of hike and challenge for my fitness level, however I find it so crowded and others can be annoying and ruin the outdoor experience. I've run into several people with dogs, large slow groups, and others who are trail running who almost push you off the trail so they can get by.

My question, are there any other trails like this that are about the same length and have a nice view or something rewarding at the end? Another trail on the north shore would be ideal.

For some exercise in a forest setting, I've always enjoyed doing Lynn Loop in Lynn Headwaters Park. The forest is really nice and it's got a pretty steep incline on one side that gets the heart rate going. It's not a very long trail though and doesn't have the wonderful view at the end like Quarry Rock does. It's difficult to think of another trail like Quarry Rock that has the view and is accessible all year.

That type of trail is really only unique to Quarry Rock, but there's always the Grouse Grind, which I find is similar to it as well except for distance.
