One of the advantages of living at Snoqualmie Pass is being able to get easy access to Hiking right away.
I decided to hike up the Melawka Lake Trail from Denny Creek. This was a trail that I had never been on before and the sight of the most recent rescue of two kids from a collapsed snow cave.
Ironically, I parked about 3/8 of a mile from the trail head than I needed to be. Part of the learning experience today was to see the few different places at Denny Creek that various trails head out.
I only hiked up about two miles of the trail and I did not find the snow cave that I was looking for. It did rain off and on. However, most of the trail is in the trees so I stayed reasonably dry.
There was not much wild life and/or birds seen. I did see some Bushy Penstemon that mainly was starting to go to seed.
