Kendall Katwalk is a 150 yard long narrow pathway blasted out of a steeply sloped granite rock face on the north ridge of Kendall Peak approximately 3 miles northeast of Snoqualmie Pass. It is a segment of Section J of Pacific Crest Trail and the construction was completed in 1979.[1] It is a popular destination for day hikers, trail runners, and backpackers.

On September 5, 2018, a member of The Mountaineers slipped from Kendall Katwalk and fell 300 feet to her death.[2]
