On Saturday, Feb. 20, Issaquah History Museums volunteer Stephen Grate will lead an interpretive hike of the Grand Ridge mine site. This walking tour will focus on the Grand Ridge mine operations which were in existence between 1908 and 1942.
Hikers will meet at the Issaquah Depot at 10 a.m. for a brief presentation on the history of Grand Ridge’s mining actions, to be followed by a 3.5 hour hike covering three miles over moderate terrain.
Hikes are held rain or shine. We recommend that you bring appropriate clothing, foot gear, water and a sack lunch, and request that you leave animal companions at home.
There is a fee of $6 per person for the hike, or $3 per person for members of the Issaquah History Museums. The presentation at the Depot is free to the public. Call 425-392-3500, or e-mail info@issaquahhistory.org, the Issaquah History Museums office, to obtain a hike registration form. Or you can download a form from www.issaquahhistory.org.
