Where to Meet and Parking Information
We encourage you to carpool to this event - we are expecting a large number of volunteers! Volunteers will meet and park at the Middle Fork trailhead: https://goo.gl/maps/VGyjGdSvq5o 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.
Additional Information

The Garfield Ledges Trailhead was completed in the summer of 2018 and serves access to the new Garfield Ledges Trail and the Snoqualmie Lake and Quartz Creek trails. Come support the Greenway Trust and the United States Forest Service to maintain and enhance the trailhead by transplanting native vegetation at various restoration sites and help construct picnic tables for day-use along the Taylor River.
