Trail Maintenance on the Granite Creek Trail

We need your help to maintain Washington trails this summer!

The Granite Creek Trail is a beautiful trail that can get quite overgrown in the summer. We will focus our work on brushing back encroaching vegetation and maintaining drains and drainage structures along the trail to keep this trail in good shape.

Volunteers will meet and park at the Granite Creek Trailhead: https://maps.app.goo.gl/vgF4ATXaEKnVHbEG7

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 approximately 5.5 miles to the Granite Creek trailhead parking area on the right. Look for Greenway signs and staff.

For over a decade, Mountains to Sound Greenway has worked to protect the scenic Middle Fork Valley of the Snoqualmie River. The Middle Fork Valley is a treasure for anyone living in or visiting the greater Seattle area. A person seeking a day of adventure could leave downtown Seattle and, in less than an hour’s time, reach the gateway to pristine Cascades wilderness. From there, that person could set out on any of dozens of trails leading to mountain peaks, hidden lakes, or old-growth forests. The Granite Creek trail offers a quiet getaway from the popular hikes along I-90. Hikers will wander switchbacks throughout second growth forests and be stopped by the stunning views of the Middle Fork Valley. Greenway volunteers have worked to plant native plants at the trailhead as well as maintain and build trail along Granite Creek trail.
