Great hike! I'm up visiting WA, and took my mom out for this hike today. I've never really explored the Middle Fork area, and wow, I was impressed!
Paved road the entire way with beautiful views of the river driving in. The trailhead was crowded with many cars, but it serves several other trails & we only encountered a handful of parties on the actual Garfield Ledges trail. The trail was in great shape, a few sections of mud but nothing to write home about. Solid tread & a perfect one to bring my mom to - she's just getting into hiking and she loved this trail.
Views from the top looking out over the Snoqualmie River Valley were much more impressive than the views you get of the freeway from a standard I-90 corridor hike.
