Fall foliage
Mount Rainier on top of Tatoosh Ridge
Clear skies today! The views were amazing.

The drive to the trailhead has a few potholes but can be reached with a car. While on the trail follow it steeply for the first 2.5 miles. At this junction chose to go to the Tatoosh Lakes or trek forward to the Tatoosh Ridge. The next 1.5 miles will wrap around the ledge in the distance and climb upward.

At Tatoosh Ridge you can see the Tatoosh Lakes, Mount Rainier, Mount Adams, and Mount Saint Helens (on a clear day).

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.
