>Take I-90 to Mercer Island and take Exit 7A to Island Crest Way.
>Drive to SE 68th Place and take a left at the stop sign. Go about
>500 feet pass the park's first entrance sign but before the road
>veers to the right. There is a small pull out here on your left. If
>you went pass a Do Not Enter sign, you went too far.
>
>Follow the trail down to the creek in the southeast ward direction.
>You will see a bunch of little steps if you are going in the right
