We thought we'd do 2 miles of Scatter Lake Trail, since the Forest Service indicated snow at 2 miles in. But we misread a trail sign and headed toward Slate Creek Trail on the Twisp River Trail #440. And this turned out to be just fine. It was an easy hike through new terrain for us. A few creek crossings, one blow down that required a side trip through the brush and lots of song birds welcoming us to the woods after many months away. Total miles hiked: 4.5 as we turned around at the fourth creek crossing.
I spotted a western tanager mating pair, what a treat!

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.
