Poo Poo Point Trail Improvements

Signage to the Poo Poo Point Trail Reroute

Are you wanting to hike to Poo Poo Point but avoid the craziness of the Chirico trailhead on the weekend? You might consider the alternative approach via the High School Trail, which has been improved and rerouted thanks to a recent project completed by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The project was executed in partnership with the Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust, which also enlisted the Washington Trails Association, EarthCorps, Backwoods Contracting, and Washington Conservation Corps. You can learn more about the project in a recent blog post by the Mountains to Sound Greenway:

And more good news - the High School Trailhead is served by the Trailhead Direct shuttle bus, approximately every half hour on the weekends. Here is a link to the shuttle bus schedule and route map:

Trailhead Direct Schedule - Issaquah Alps

The reroute has shortened the distance to Poo Poo Point from the High School trailhead to approximately 3.1 miles. Hiker beware - the signage and maps have not yet caught up with this change. All in good time.

Happy Trails!
