Mount Washington

I wanted to get in one last Snoqualmie Pass area hike before the snow starts to arrive, so I picked this hike.

I wasnt too sure about this hike route since other folks have mentioned its a bit hard to find or not well marked getting to the top of Mt Washington. But I found it somewhat easy to follow -- once you locate the start of the trail. The leaves now cover most of the steep rocky trail up to Owl Hike Spot.

The streams along the way seemed to be going fairly strong for so early in the season.

Some snow is on the upper part of the hike -- nothing really covering the trail except at one point.

I wasnt too sure about the Great Wall route, so I took the Mt Washington trail to the top. Kudos to the folks that have done the work on this trail -- its in really good shape.

The top was a bit windy, but had some great views. I headed back before the rain really got heavy.

Nice hike, a bit steep for long periods, so I wouldnt bring kids -- no one was on it today, maybe scared away by the rainy forecast. More photos at www.weekendhike.com
