Garfield Ledges
Snoqualmie Region
Garfield Ledges is in excellent condition with no snow. The trail is well-maintained, featuring nurse logs, boulders, and a notable section of wooden stairs which can be challenging for some. The final viewpoint offers a sweeping vista. Parking has been plentiful, even on busy weekends, though a Discover Pass is required. Recent reports from April and May mention blooming wildflowers. A small fire was reported near the river access on NF-5600 on July 3rd, but it was extinguished. Cell service is lost quickly on the trail.

This is a good early season hike. Short and steep enough. I think stairs have been added since we first did this hike. As we are in our " high 80's" we are not happy to find these. As usual the steps ...
Trail was in great condition! Although short, definitely got my heart pumping a bit on the way up. Went over the busy Mother’s Day weekend and got to the trailhead around 9am. Plenty of parking was av...
Hike was a delight! The humidity definitely made itself known, especially on the way up. The view was great, and the trek back down featured a lovely breeze. Our group popped by the river afterwards a...
The trail was in great shape! The river was a beautiful roaring stream with clear cold glacial Waters. Went with my wife and a friend who aren't as into hiking and they had no problem with the trail i...
The trail is in great shape. We got this in before the rain came in. I kicked away several dozen loose rocks. No downed branches or trees. The trail appears to be well cared for.
