on the trail

Start at the east end of the parking lot next to Humpback Creek. After crossing the creek several times, gently climb to a grove of one of the last remaining stands of old growth in the Snoqualmie Valley. Look for Douglas-fir, western hemlock and western red cedar, mosses, ferns, orchids and a large variety of wildflowers in late spring, mushrooms, winter wrens, and occasionally a pileated woodpecker.
