Seattle Nomads Hike - Stegosaurus Butte

Meet at the Middle Fork Snoqualmie trailhead by 9am.

Join us for a fun adventure that feels bigger than it is.

This relatively-short hike packs in sizable elevation over a short distance but rewards the steep climb with some incredible views (plus a walk through some lovely forest along the way).

We're also planning an unofficial campout at Middle Fork Campground Friday and Saturday - please contact the leader directly for more details.

Please note: while this is still considered a hike in summer months, it follows an unmaintained "climbers trail" and requires use of hands for stabilization on the steepest sections. It also features some exposure at the summit.

While these traits make it feel like a real "adventure" for Nomad's-aged kids, this is likely not a good hike for younger siblings, and smaller children could not be safely carried. We've successfully completed this hike in the past with a six-year-old and he loved the challenge and wanted to share!
