This is the perfect early-season trip to ease into backpacking! This trip offers beautiful river views, lush forests, and a peaceful escape into the wild.
Day 1 – Into the Wilderness!
We'll hit the trail for a scenic 6-mile hike along the stunning Middle Fork Snoqualmie River. Once we reach the Middle Fork Backcountry Campground, we’ll set up camp and relax. For those with extra energy, an optional day hike will take us deeper into the forest to spot wildlife, and soak in the beauty of this remote area.
Day 2 – Back to Civilization
After a restful night under the stars, we’ll pack up camp and hike back to the trailhead, refreshed and ready for our next adventure!
🚗 A Northwest Forest Pass is required for parking at the trailhead.
