Enjoy a moderate winter hike to Dirty Harry’s Balcony, a scenic overlook in the Cascade Mountains. This 4.4-mile roundtrip hike gains about 1,400 feet in elevation, leading to breathtaking views of the Snoqualmie Valley. Expect a mix of forest trails, rocky sections, and possible snow or ice in February—bring microspikes! The trail can be steep, but the rewarding view makes it worth the effort. Dress warmly and prepare for a chilly but beautiful adventure!
We will meet at the Dirty Harry's Balcony Trailhead at 8:30am for an 8:45am hike.
