Avg Rating: 4.25

Took a Montana friend on this popular trail last Friday. Clouds were breaking as we started up, and we had sun on us for most of our hike. Views from the top were mainly of neighboring peaks and of Mt. Rainier thrusting through the cloud cover on Puget Sound. My Montana friend didn't care that she missed seeing Mt. Olympus; the flower fields near the top and the moody clouds delighted her. Few bugs. The three goats who scampered past us on the trail did not pose for photos.

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.
