Location: King County, Middle Fork Snoqualmie River watershed

Acreage: 60.00 acres

Ownership History:  CLC bought the Hardscrabble Peak property from the United Cascade Mining Company in 2000.

Property Description:  The property is located on the boundary of the Alpine Lakes Wilderness Area in the Middle Fork Valley of the Snoqualmie River, and its preservation is key to the integrity of the entire upper valley.  The views from the top of Hardscrabble Peak extend into the valley, to nearby peaks, and down to upper Hardscrabble Lake.

Conservation Values:  Although parts of the lower property were logged in the 1940’s, it lies within one of the largest un-logged valleys in the State and is one of the most pristine watersheds remaining on Earth, containing over 400 species of plants and wildlife.
