Hiking Dalles River

Dalles River is a short trail branching off of the Dalles Campground and meandering along the White River. It is known for the 9.5-foot diameter Douglas fir at the trailhead, one of the largest trees in the Snoqualmie Ranger District.

There is no parking near the trailhead. If you do not have a paid site in the campground, you can park in the day use area. A Discover pass is required. You will need to walk the paved campground loop path 0.4 mile to get to/from the trailhead and the Big Tree.

The trail continues parallel to the White River, connecting to FS 73 a half mile from the Big Tree.
