Description

Join us for a guided walk of the Grand Ridge Mine site! 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 people 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. You will be guided by a local expert! The walk will be held rain or shine. Bring water and snacks, wear appropriate hiking shoes, dress for the weather, and wear sunscreen. There is a strict capacity of 20 individuals on this hike. Masks recommended, but not required. All participants must purchase an individual ticket in advance and unexpected guests cannot be accommodated. Please, no children 10 and under (safety reasons); children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Although we love pets, please leave your furry friends at home.
