Tucked just over an hour from Seattle, the Pratt Balcony Trail is a hidden gem that rewards you with stunning, wide-open views of the Middle Fork Snoqualmie Valley without the crowds. The trail winds through mossy forest and wildflowers before opening onto a dramatic rocky ledge — a perfect spot for a peaceful break with a jaw-dropping backdrop. It’s a short, scenic escape that offers a wilderness-like feel with minimal effort, making it one of the most underrated day hikes near the city.
