Why You Should Go Now
Wildflowers blooming
Campsite
This was the last stop on my eastern wa trip started at potholes and made my way here, love this campground! They are expanding it to include cabins, I think, it's under construction now. Snack bar doesn't open till May 1st so remember your ice! Friday night was pretty mellow here, it's prior to the busy season. Trail was in great shape except that one spot that is tricky you must use all hands and crawl up a small section and the scree rocks can be a challenge but it's worth the it to get to the top. Once there you have 600 acers to explore on top! Wildflowers are just starting to open give it a week and they will really be open. Weather was perfect.
Tons of balsamroot blooming
White lupine just starting to open
Views to die for every where you look!

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.
