We will be hiking along the Middle Fork Snoqualmie trail "Bridge to Bridge"- up to the Dingford Creek Trailhead. This is a moderately strenuous hike- please check that you have done hikes with similar pace and elevation change recently. Please feel free to contact me with any questions regarding whether you should sign up for this hike or not.
This hike will go rain or shine, but we may change destination depending on weather/road/ trail conditions to another location around the I-90 corridor/ Issaquah Alps.
As this will be a full day hike, please bring snacks, lunch enough water for 6 hrs. of hiking (I recommend 2 liters). We will hike for approximately 60-90 minutes, take a snack break and bio break, then continue. I am hoping to have a lunch break at the Dingford Creek Bridge.
It may get dark upon our return; please make sure your headlamp is charged with fresh batteries and maybe bring extras.
My goal is to soak up the calming presence of the trees, to reconnect with the natural beauty and bounty of the Pacific Northwest.
We will meet at the Middle Fork Snoqualmie Trail Parking Lot at 7:45 AM, ready to hike by 8AM. There is paved parking and pit toilets at this lot. A Northwest Forest Pass or America the Beautiful Interagency Annual Pass is required.
