Despite the crowds that accompany a clear sky spring Saturday afternoon, I was still able to find some viewpoints to grab some photographs of the river valley and surrounding mountain peaks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The day use area adjacent to Stegosaurus Butte, just before the splits off from the Middle Fork Snoqualmie River was a great place to stop and walk around with the Dog. A set of well maintained gravel trails made for easy access to a number of picnic tables where you could setup and prepare a bite to eat. A nature loop trail included convenient access to the Middle Fork of the Snoqualmie River shoreline. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<iframe
