Dirty Harry's Balcony
Snoqualmie Region
As of early May 2026, Dirty Harry's Balcony is experiencing a wildflower bloom, with reports from May 4th and May 6th noting blooming trillium, bleeding hearts, serviceberry, blue-eyed Mary, and chickweed monkeyflowers, primarily in the lower sections. The trail itself is in good condition, though there are several blowdowns requiring navigation. Mud is present in some drainage areas, and as of April 18th, slush was noted higher up. Parking is frequently congested, with cars lining the road even on weekdays by late morning. A Discover Pass is required.
