We will meet at the Granite Creek Trailhead. Please plan to arrive a few minutes early, so that the stewardship activity can start promptly at 9 AM. A Discover Pass is required to park at the trailhead, and this location is not served by Trailhead Direct. We will work until 3 PM.
Volunteers will meet and park at the Granite Creek Trailhead: https://goo.gl/maps/6n9KqKKYAAn 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.
in addition, YOU WILL NEED TO CHECK IN WITH YOUR MOUNTAINEER STEWARDSHIP LEADER TO RECEIVE CREDIT FOR THIS ACTIVITY.
Located in the scenic Middle Fork Valley of the Snoqualmie River, the Granite Creek trail offers a quiet getaway from the popular hikes along I-90. For this event, volunteers will work along the length of the trail to cut back overgrown vegetation and address drainage issues in preparation for the summer season.
