I went there and I hiked the entire trail. All the way from Maple Valley to Lake Washington. The trail in total is a lot longer than 6 miles. Its more like 18 to go to Lake Washington, almost 40 with the little side trails that I took.

Trail experiencing some water retention on west side from North end of Lake Wilderness South to Four Corners, with shallow puddles reaching across the entire trail at several points.

Not at all impassable, but continued rain will make these worsen over the course of winter without some grading work.

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.
