Taylor River - Otter Falls
Snoqualmie Region
As of late July 2026, the Taylor River Trail to Otter Falls is generally in good condition with minimal snow. Reports from June and July indicate that recent trail work has addressed previous washouts, and navigation around them is now marked with pink tape or ribbons (as of June 28). One large log remains across the trail, requiring some scrambling (June 28).
While the road to the trailhead is mostly passable, some sections have washboards, and a few single-lane portions remain unrepaired (June 9). Parking is typically available, though it can get busy on weekends (May 23, June 22). Stream crossings, which were problematic in early May due to high water, appear manageable now, with pink ribbons marking routes to cross with minimal wet feet (May 1, May 21). The trailhead toilet is reported to be open and stocked (June 9, May 1).
