Why You Should Go Now
Wildflowers blooming
Took a morning hike (trail run) around 7AM. Wildflowers are in bloom and the lilac grove at the old homestead were fragrant. But the rattle snakes are out. Seemed early but there they are. I would definitely do this hike again...maybe in April.
Have to apologize if someone found our doggy poop bag. We had it in our hands for the whole trail and when we got back to the parking lot it was not there. Hiked back another mile to find it, but didnt. Maybe it fell in the river coming back over the bridge.

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.
