Poo Poo Point - Chirico Trail
Issaquah Alps
The Chirico Trail to Poo Poo Point is currently very muddy and wet, especially at the trailhead and in sections of the trail, as of March 21st. Recent reports from mid-March indicate packed snow starting halfway up, making poles and spikes helpful, though this snow was predicted to melt within a day or two.
Parking is consistently an issue, with the main lot often full, leading to overflow parking on the roadside, which is noted as potentially unsafe, especially on weekdays. One report from February 3rd stated the parking lot was closed due to construction, though the trail remained open.
Obstacles on the trail have generally been minor downed trees that are easily passable, and some rock steps that may require assistance for small children. Views of Mt. Rainier have been reported as good, though sometimes hazy.
