This hike is gorgeous and the trail is very well maintained. There are some steep places if you take the "more difficult" trail so be prepared in advance but it's so worth it for the views of the Gorge. We did a loop from the parking area up the more difficult side of the trail, across the ridge, and back down the difficult side. From the top of the Mt on a clear day you can see Mt. Hood. We didn't see it because of the clouds but we still got spectacular views of the Gorge and it was worth every step! Parking was a bit of a mess later in the day so go early to secure your parking place. It's worth it!

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.
