Fire lookout tower on top of Mt. Pilchuk - James Woollard
Beautiful hike in stunning late summer weather. Spotted a fast-moving American Pika (rock rabbit). Although dogs are welcome on the trail (and I saw lots), I would not necessarily recommend this as a dog-friendly hike beacuse the lookout tower is not very accessible for medium-large dogs.

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.
