Granite Creek Trail # 1326., continue -
Setting: Steep, STEEP climb to the Cle
Elum Ridge Trail (a motorized trail). There
are two creek crossings and one spring on
the climb, but there is no water on top.
Description: This is a popular trail among
the locals and those passing through the
area and want a quick and hard hike. The
trail is very steep, gaining 2,000 feet in less
than two miles. Granite and Fowler Creek
Homeowners have adopted this trail and
take great pride in maintaining it. Look for
well-maintained switchbacks and water
crossings. This is a very difficult trail for
stock (narrow and steep tread in areas) and
mountain bikers (mostly hike a bike). This is
a non-motorized trail.
