Why You Should Go Now
Wildflowers blooming
Ripe berries
Heather Lake
The trail up to and around Heather Lake is in great condition. There was minimal mud or water on the trail.

On the loop trail around the lake, lots of berries were ripening, but I would say it will be another week or so before they are at their peak. Many wildflowers were blooming, too.

Although this is an extremely popular trail, there are plenty of places for people to spread out around the lake.

Red Top Lookout (Jun 13)

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.
