  • Drive east on I-90 and take the Front St Exit (Exit 17). Make a right at Front St and turn left at Sunset Way. Turn right on 2nd Avenue, drive just past Issaquah High School and find the trailhead parking area on the left, just before the light at 2nd Avenue and Front St. Follow the trail from the parking lot, and as you pass the high school stadium take a trail coming in from the right.
