Denny Creek
Snoqualmie Region
As of June 15, 2026, Denny Creek conditions are generally good, with snow largely melted. Expect muddy sections, particularly between the trailhead and the first creek crossing, as reported on June 14th. The creek itself is flowing well and is a "blissfully frigid" reward, but crossing rocks can be slippery and some submerged. Reports from June 11th and May 15th mention a tricky creek crossing, with some hikers turning around.
Wildflowers are abundant, with reports from June 11th and June 3rd noting various species. Some trillium may be past their prime. Trail obstacles include some rocky sections, particularly in meadow areas (June 5th), and past blowdowns have been cleared by volunteers (May 14th, May 12th). The "bridge" at the Denny Slide area was noted as unstable on June 3rd but was in place and sturdy on May 12th. Parking can fill up, especially by early afternoon on weekends (June 14th). The forest service road to the trailhead was closed as of March 22nd, requiring parking at a roadblock.
