CCC Road: Lower Section, CCC Road: Upper Trailhead & CCC Road: Blowout Creek Trailhead — Wednesday, Jun. 11, 2014

Snoqualmie Region > North Bend Area

I had been wanting to take a trip up the Middle Fork of the Snoqualmie River for quite some time. Imagine my disappointment when finding that the road was closed during the week to recreational traffic. Not to be stopped, I decided to do a trail run along the old CCC road starting from the school bus turnaround on the Mount Si road. I followed the road past the houses, and around the gate where it continues to be a well used road. Finally after about 3.5 miles, you branch to the right and the overgrown CCC road. It's a beautiful trail, with plenty of water sources and wildflowers exploding everywhere. I continued on the CCC road (trail) all the way to the Middle Fork CG, where I took a break before heading back. Because of the road closure, there was not a soul to be seen. Anyone looking for some solitude, could hike up to the campground during the week and have it all to themselves. After my break, I re-traced my steps back to the starting point. Over 25 miles for the day!
