Cedar Grove Tehaleh Overlook Trail Loop

This loop hike is fantastic. The upper portion of the trail is on the rim situated behind houses with nothing but a big drop off the rim down into endless forest. The other half of the loop is at the bottom of the hill in a super second growth forest. One cedar grove in particular is absolutely a treasure and will get better every year. This loop is also easily accessible from the north in the Falling Water Development, well outside of the Tehaleh Community, giving hundreds of homes access to the Tehaleh trail system. (Look for trail near intersection of 181st Ave East and Falling Water Blvd.) Larger loops are possible to the west although current development will be constantly changing what is possible. The overlook trail on the top of the rim skirts Forest Park and a dog park. This trail will also keep extending as development occurs.

I made this in January 2023 with the best aerial photo at the time. I will update it in a few years as things change every few months in Tehaleh.

From the viewpoint at the north end of the loop, you can look across a section of Falling Water Development. Falling Water Boulevard ends right there but will continue to the left in the future.

Some sections on the rim allow you to walk dirt trail or gravel trail (to the right a bit).
