Hiking Roslyn Urban Forest - Slag Pile Loop

From the parking area, head east on the Coal Mines Trail. You'll reach an information sign for the Roslyn Urban Forest almost immediately, take a left to begin this loop. Before you begin though, take a moment to enter the community gazebo behind the sign to learn more about the language and ancestral lands of the Pshwánapam (known today as the Upper Yakama or Kittitas).

Head north up the small rise and walk past remnants of a building foundation. Keep to the main path on an old road and after 0.2 miles, take a right at the signed intersection for the loop. 

For the next 0.2 miles enjoy a more forested track before emerging again onto the graveled Whitehead Drive, taking two quick rights to re-join the Coal Mines Trail and head back to the trailhead.

WTA Pro Tip: Save a copy of our directions before you leave! App-based driving directions aren't always accurate and data connections may be unreliable as you drive to the trailhead.

Getting There

From I-90, take exit 80 to Roslyn. As you enter town, turn right on E. Dakota Ave. and continue about two blocks to where the paved road either turns left or right onto a dirt road named Whitehead Road. There is a shoulder to park on the road that goes left.
