For dog owners it is important to realize that not all parks are open to our four-legged friends. it is sometimes hard for dog owners to believe but not everyone loves dogs. We are, in fact, in the minority when compared with our non-dog-owning neighbors. As such, rules can change rapidly to ban dogs from even more of our public parks. It doesn't take a referendum or a ballot count for "NO DOGS" signs to appear overnight.
So make sure your dog is a good citizen on the trail - don't bother other hikers and pick up after him - and you will be embarking on a passion that will last a lifetime.
Get fit - grab a leash and hit the trail!
Upcoming events (4+)
See all- SATURDAY MORNING WALK - Snoqualmie Valley Trail, Snoqualmie, WATokul Creek Trestle, Snoqualmie, WA
Welcome to our off season. Bad weather happens, but i try not to let it stop us. Dangerous conditions, however, will cause me to cancel completely or change what we do. Please check in the morning of the event to see what is happening. Arm yourself for winter weather. Please keep your RSVP up to date - even if you are on the waiting list.
The Snoqualmie Valley Trail offers the opportunity to get out and explore one of the most beautiful agricultural valleys in the region.
The trail meanders past working farms as well as preserved open space areas, and connects to the cross-state Palouse to Cascades Trail in Iron Horse State Park. Points of interest include Tolt-MacDonald Park, Meadowbrook Farm, Three Forks Natural Area and the Tokul Trestle.
The Tokul Creek Trestle is, according to a King County Parks report on its historical significance, “the highest and one of the longest and largest of the trestles on the former Everett branch of the (Milwaukee) Railroad, and the only one that is fit into a tightly curving contour in a steep drainage.”
Tokul Trestle - Savor Snoqualmie ValleyI am putting the mileage at 4 miles, but this is an out/back trail and we could go further or you can turn around earlier.
If it is a nice day, pack a lunch and after our walk we can go to the lower parking area of Snoqualmie Falls for a picnic. There is a park and walkway to the base of the falls.
