Grand Ridge Mine Hike

Have you ever wanted to walk in the footsteps of Issaquah’s earliest miners? On the Issaquah History Museums’ Grand Ridge Mine Hike, you will have the chance to explore the daily commute of miners who worked in Issaquah’s longest-lasting coal mining operation. The hike will begin at the East Sunset Trailhead in downtown Issaquah and participants will hike to the mine site through an historically significant section of the county’s 1300 acre Grand Ridge Park.

Participants will meet at the East Sunset Trailhead for a moderately easy three-mile hike on well-developed gravel and dirt trails. The walk will be held rain or shine. Bring water and snacks, and wear appropriate hiking shoes.

There is a strict limit of 20 guests for this hike. All participants must purchase a ticket in advance and unexpected guests cannot be accommodated. Please, no children under 10 and children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Please leave your canine friends at home.
