As mentioned in other reports, the directions to the trailhead are wrong. Turn left off of Teanaway Road onto the West Fork Teanaway Road to head towards the campground (campground not well marked). At the campground, turn RIGHT onto Middle Fork Teanaway Road. Look at Google Maps. Continue after the pavement ends, past the Indian Camp, just over a bridge where the road turns hard-ish left.
Once you get there, though, you'll wish you brought your horse. The river was ford-able at the trailhead, but it was up past my knees (I'm 5'10"). Cool, but not unbearable since it was 97 degrees. My husband had to carry our dog across (Boxer). Beautiful canyon, some mud holes, then another river crossing. Overgrown trail, then a third river crossing - this is where the trail dissappeared. I THINK it continued up-river a bit, but the river was too high to get there on foot. We turned back instead. Teanaway Valley is beautiful - we'll look for another hike to try.

Red Top Lookout

Snoqualmie Pass

Whether you're camping near Cle Elum or just want a prime picnic location for a short Saturday hike, you'll only have to climb a mile on this steep, easy-to-follow trail to get stunning views from a fire lookout (and cool alpine outhouse). It can be great for kids, but keep them close on the exposed summit.
