Pretty standard Spring hike. Never done this trail before but was just doing some exploring with my choco lab Ellie. Trail is in pretty good condition for the most part, however there is a creek that is running pretty high right now with all the snow runoff. Was able to cross just to the left of the trail on the ascent by stepping on some exposed rocks. Still very slippery so I would not recommend it if you are traveling with any more than a day pack. Just after the stream crossing there is still a lot of snow on the trail, however there are plenty of footprints showing the path. Wasn't able to make it all the way to the top because I started pretty late but still got a nice view before headed back down. Some of the flowers in the lower elevations are starting to bloom and I bet by next week they will be gorgeous!

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.
