Why You Should Go Now
Wildflowers blooming
A heads up that the 4th of July trail to Icicle Ridge is in very good shape (as of Friday, June 25). The alpine views are currently primo. Only snow is right on the ridge, and the lookout site itself is clear of snow. All the deadfall has been cleared, and there is water at all the usual places in abundance. Only heard one mosquito, no rattlers. Heard one grouse, and saw another. Flowers are abundant, too. Encountered seven others, two of whom were looping over to the Icicle Ridge trailhead near Leavenworth.

Red Top Lookout

Snoqualmie Pass

Whether you're camping near Cle Elum or just want a prime picnic location for a short Saturday hike, you'll only have to climb a mile on this steep, easy-to-follow trail to get stunning views from a fire lookout (and cool alpine outhouse). It can be great for kids, but keep them close on the exposed summit.
