Grand Ridge Park
Issaquah Alps
updated 1 month ago
The trails in Grand Ridge Park are generally in good shape, with no snow reported as of August 14. However, one report from June 25 noted that Len's Trail - East Fork was significantly overgrown with nettles, making it difficult to navigate and resulting in stings. Additionally, a small bridge near the end of Len's Trail - East Fork has been out for months, requiring a creek crossing. Parking at the High Point lot was light on August 14.
