CCC Road: Upper Trailhead
Snoqualmie Region
updated 2 days ago
The CCC Road trail offers a pleasant, low-elevation hike through lush, moss-covered forests. Creek crossings are reported as mostly dry as of September 23. The road to the trailhead is suitable for all vehicles. Bugs have been minimal to non-existent in recent reports, though one report from September 7 noted them as an annoyance on the first mile. Parking is generally available, though one report from August 22 noted the trailhead toilet was out of toilet paper. The trail itself is in good condition with little elevation gain, making it a good option for a less strenuous outing.
