Dirty Harry's Balcony Hike
Join Hikerkind Hike Club and Windthrow for a moderate hike along winding trails lush with old growth trees and primeval ferns to Dirty Harry’s Balcony, hugging the western edge of Snoqualmie Pass near North End. We’ll steadily gain 882 feet, transition from Putrid Pete’s Trail to the Ira Spring Connector, and arrive at Dirty Harry’s Balcony after 2 miles to find remarkable views of the Cascades. We’ll stop for a quaint 30 minute picnic before heading back. After we descend back down, join us at South Fork North Bend for an after party with new friends.
