Blowdowns
Hoh River view. S. Reznicek
The only scattered old snow was near the visitor center. The trail was in excellent condition all the way to 5 mile island. There were 11 blockages, most were easily negotiated. However, two large cedar blowdowns require considerable detouring. The day was sunny & warm, 40's, and the snow-capped mountains, with the raging Hoh River provided amazing photos for a midwinter hike. Highly recommended.

Red Top Lookout (Jun 13)

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.
