Go Take a Hike-Fall and Winter hiking in the Japanese Gulch

Fall and winter are perfect seasons to explore Mukilteo’s Japanese Gulch — a lush forest escape just minutes from town. As mist settles and maple leaves turn gold, hikers, bikers, and dog walkers can enjoy miles of peaceful trails winding past mossy trees, salmon streams, and remnants of the area’s early logging history. Whether you’re looking for a short stroll or a full loop through the gulch, it’s a refreshing way to “get away from it all” without going too far.
