  • Sturdy, close-toed shoes (absolutely no sandals)
  • Gloves

In addition, we recommend that participants bring:

  • Warm layers, especially during the fall, winter, and spring
  • Rain gear
  • Big sack lunch
  • Water for the day (3 liters minimum)
  • Small daypack for lunch, extra layers, etc.
Where to Meet and Parking Information
We encourage you to drive to this event - we are expecting a large number of volunteers! Volunteers will meet and park at the Middle Fork Trailhead. From Seattle, drive east on I-90 to exit 34 (Edgewick Road). Turn left (north) onto 468th Ave SE and follow it to the junction with the Middle Fork Snoqualmie Road (Forest Road 5600). Turn right and continue up the Middle Fork Snoqualmie Road for 11.8 miles to the Middle Fork trailhead parking area on the right. Look for Greenway signs and staff. No parking pass needed on National Public Lands Day!
Additional Information

Help us complete the Garfield Ledges Trail, the newest scenic vista trail in the Middle Fork Snoqualmie Valley. When finished the trail will wind gently through mature second growth forest on the western slope of the Middle Fork Valley's most iconic peak, Mount Garfield. Volunteers will help build rock retention structures, fill in and define trail surfaces, and cut back obstacles in the trail surface.
 
*PLEASE NOTE: VOLUNTEERS FOR THIS TRAIL PROJECT MUST BE 14 OR OLDER*
