Due to forecasted winter storm warnings, I am moving my hike to the Issaquah region. Grand Prospect is an 8-mile out and back hike that ends at an overlook with benches. On a clear day, you can see Mount Si, Mount Teneriffe, Russian Butte and Mailbox Peak. If the weather is agreeable, we will hike up to the benches, enjoy a snack for 20 minutes or until we're too cold to sit still, and then make our way back down.
Meet at 8 am at the trailhead.
Per WTA, "From the west, take I-90 to exit 27. At the end of the off-ramp, turn right onto Winery Road. In about 0.35 miles turn right into the parking area for Rattlesnake Mountain. (Straight ahead will lead you into Snoqualmie Point Park.)"
