The Oxbow Loop Trail is in good condition and snow-free as of September 8. Early fall colors are starting to appear on the trail, with some red and orange leaves beginning to fall as of September 7. The Middle Fork Snoqualmie River is low, offering some spots to access the water, though the rocky and slippery areas near the river may be more comfortable with sandals. Invasive Himalayan blackberries are present along the trail.
