Granite Creek Connector Trail
Snoqualmie Region
updated 3 months ago
The Granite Creek Connector Trail has significant obstacles as of June 25, 2026. A major landslide at 0.85 miles has deposited 20-foot debris piles across the trail, although it appears to be getting some traffic and has been flagged. The lower section of the trail is overgrown with thorny brush, and there are numerous blowdowns in the final half-mile before reaching the junction. Despite these challenges, the trail is snow-free and the road is suitable for all vehicles. No bugs were reported.
