Iverson Railroad Trail

Issaquah Alps

updated 1 month ago

The Iverson Railroad Trail is in good condition, with no snow reported as of October 4. Hikers have enjoyed observing wildlife, including mushrooms, slugs, birds, and a snake, with October 4 being particularly pleasant for young children. The trail is shared with considerate mountain bikers, and while some sections can be overgrown with vegetation like foxglove and thorny blackberry bushes, this was noted as a minor issue in July 19. Parking is available in two newly paved lots requiring a Discover Pass, or a less desirable gravel lot at the bottom.
