In celebration of National Trails Day we will complete trail maintenance and brushing of the network of connector trails in the vicinity of the Middle Fork Trailhead. After this 1/2 day activity we will enjoy a celebration of National Trails Day with Volution Brewing and other partners to celebrate public lands. This is an opportunity to connect over our shared passion for the outdoors and for inspiring our community to leave trails better than we found them.
You will need to fill out the waiver for Mountains to Sound to participate in this activity, use registration Link:National Trails Day 2025 - Mountains To Sound Greenway Trust
The Middle Fork Trailhead is a popular starting point for hiking and outdoor recreation, located in the Middle Fork Snoqualmie Valley in Mount Baker Snoqualmie National Forest. Renowned for its stunning natural beauty, the area features dense forests, rivers, waterfalls, and mountain views.
From the Middle Fork Trailhead one can set out on a number of trails leading to mountain peaks, hidden lakes, or old-growth forests. The Middle Fork Trail crosses a unique arched beam cable-hung bridge, meanders through mature second-growth forests interspersed with old-growth remnants, and extends into the upper Middle Fork Valley and the Alpine Lakes Wilderness.
We will start promptly at 9 am and end at 12, participants will receive a 1/2 day stewardship credit. Please allow plenty of time to arrive a few minutes early.
