We met up at the Preston P&R and consolidated cars for the long drive to the Teanaway Valley. Wet, cloudy skies gave way to sunny, cloudy skies as soon as we crossed Snoqualmie Pass. We had a few destinations in mind, but ultimately resolved and failed to get to Gallaher Head Lake via the Boulder/DeRoux Trail. Side trips to Koppen Mountain and DeRoux Peak were possible, but we ended up being not quite that ambitious. We were also concerned about forest fire danger, and kept our eyes, ears, and noses open!
The trails were in good shape, if a bit dusty. We met a family on motorbikes on the return trip, and recounted our failed attempt to reach the lake. They agreed that the trail junctions are hard to follow -- even with maps -- and encouraged us to try again another time.
We enjoyed an excellent post-hike meal at the Cottage Cafe in Cle Elum before heading back to Preston, and made plans to hike together again.
