Coal Creek Trail — Sunday, Sep. 21, 2025

Issaquah Alps > Cougar Mountain

Parking: the main entrance/parking lot is unavailable, under construction (since June 2025). Found 4 parallel parking spots 0.1 miles from the main entrance.

Trail: is overall pretty narrow, came across at least 3 bridges and quite a few stairs. I hiked around 0.8 miles in and turned back. It was very quiet on this showering day, and I could hear rain drops hitting the leaves.

I'd like to return on a sunnier day and hopefully see more folks on the trail
