May Valley Trail
Issaquah Alps
updated 2 weeks ago
The May Valley Trail is currently closed until the end of November as of October 26. The road leading to the trailhead is impassable as of October 26, though another report from the same day indicates the road is suitable for all vehicles, suggesting potential variability or confusion about access points. Despite the closure, reports from earlier in October indicate the trail itself is in good condition, snow-free, and has no bugs. The Issaquah Alps Trails Club has maintained the trails well, clearing blowdown and keeping it in shape for hiking, trail running, and even with young children.
