Why You Should Go Now
Wildflowers blooming
Different vegetation along the hike.
The rough dirt road was easy to find and not too difficult for my car. Another option is always to park down the road and hike a little extra. There was no other car at the little parking lot, actually I didn't see another person the whole day.

It's nice to see the combination of desert, black rocks, and the lush green of the small creek. I took a right at the intersection as advised. Once on the ridge, I went to the left, and then took another left which brought me back to the same intersection. Maybe added 1 mile.

Be careful because there are rattle snakes.

The old hut in lush green.

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.
