Event Overview
The CCC road was originally built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps, a public work relief program for young, unmarried men during the Great Depression. The CCC trail is the old CCC road, which encompasses a total of 13.5 miles running somewhat parallel to the Middle Fork Snoqualmie road. The trail itself is broken into an upper and lower sections, and allows hike, bike, and equestrian access. The upper part of the trail runs through second growth forest, with occassional views of the nearby peaks and beautiful waterfalls. Volunteers will continue to maintain this trail to make it accessible to all of its users. 
Difficulty
Moderate to Strenuous
Age Restriction
Ages 14 and up.

Driving Directions
Volunteers will meet and park at the CCC Trail (West Access point) parking area. This area has no formal signage, so refer to the link below for directions and be in touch should you have any questions beforehand: https://goo.gl/maps/aLN2dFwm6Pm From Seattle, drive east on I-90 to exit 34 (Edgewick Road). Turn left (north) onto 468th Street and follow it to the junction with the Middle Fork Snoqualmie Road (Forest Road 56). Turn right and continue up the Middle Fork Snoqualmie Road for 9.4 miles to the CCC Trail (West Access point) parking area on the left. Look for Greenway signs and staff. Parking is limited so carpooling is encouraged (there are two larger trailheads nearby (Granite Creek and the Middle Fork Trailhead). If anyone is interested in doing so, email volunteer@mtsgreenway.org.
