Poo Poo Point
Issaquah Alps
As of June 11, 2026, Poo Poo Point trails are largely clear of snow and obstacles. The first half of the hike is described as rocky and challenging, with easier hiking towards the summit.
Parking at the High School trailhead can be difficult due to student traffic; arriving early or parking at the Issaquah community center (adding a short walk past the troll) is recommended, especially on weekdays. Some reports mention muddy sections, though generally manageable. Bugs have appeared in damp areas as of June 1. Off-leash dogs have been noted as a minor issue by some hikers. Paragliders are active at the summit. Trilliums were noted in bloom in April.
