Start out in Crystal parking lot A. There is a small and steep trail that heads up the hill labeled as Silver Creek Trail.

Hike Pratt Balcony
North Bend, Washington
2.2 mi
This one can be a bit tricky to find. The trailhead is unmarked and is a bit hidden around a curve of Middle Fork Road so it is easy to miss. At about 9.80 miles from the junction of 468th St. and Middle Fork Road, look for two signs on the right warning of upcoming gravel patches (probably will be temporary as they these are the remnants from the road washout in early 2020.) The trailhead and ...
