Dirty Harry's Balcony
Snoqualmie Region
updated 3 days ago
The trail to Dirty Harry's Balcony is in good condition, snow-free, and suitable for all vehicles as of September 22. However, access via Exit 38 is currently affected by construction, requiring a detour by taking a further exit and doubling back. Reports indicate this detour adds a small amount of time to the journey. The trail itself is well-maintained with some rooty and rocky sections, but generally manageable. Parking availability has varied, with some reporting empty lots early in the morning and others noting 75% capacity later on September 13. Several reports mention numerous signed technical climbing routes off spur trails, and abundant squirrels are a notable feature for hikers.
