Fagin's Hike of the Week- Dirty Harry's Balcony

This hike is just east of North Bend, WA. I hiked to the Balcony on 3-19-20 and no snow. The trail gets crowed in the afternoon. Fewer people if you hike early in the day. Also - fewer people go to Dirty Harry's Peak which has snow.  Here is some information from the WTA regarding hiking in the times of Coronavirus.

Driving Directions:

From Seattle go east on I-90 and take exit 38 toward the Fire Training Academy.

Turn right and drive about one mile to junction.

Turn left and go under the freeway and the parking lot is on your right.

Trail stats: We just went to the Balcony and a short distance on the Ira Spring Connector (total of 4.6 miles) which is primitive trail here is our track. If you want to go to Dirty Harry Peak  here is  our track
