Garfield Ledges
Snoqualmie Region
As of February 7, 2026, Garfield Ledges trail is in great shape, recently cleared of loose rocks. However, the road to the trailhead is rough and requires medium to high clearance, with significant potholes reported on December 31, 2025, and February 6, 2026. Some reports conflict on road conditions past the bridge, with one stating significant potholes on December 31st and another recommending parking at the Middle Fork trailhead due to unpleasant potholes on February 6th. The Middle Fork Snoqualmie Road was closed at the Lake Dorothy Road Fork on January 11, 2026. A few downed trees and branches have been noted, but are generally easy to navigate. No snow was reported as of December 31, 2025.

We were the first ones at the trailhead this morning around 0730. The road seems to get worse everytime we come out here. I would be very hesitant to take a low clearance car past the bridge because t...
ROAD: The Garfield Ledges parking area is in horrendous condition, full of water and difficult to tell how deep the puddles are in places. This is my first time all year worrying about whether my Mazd...
