This trail "might" remain snow-free this winter. That would be welcome! There are a few minor blowdowns, none that impede easy hiking. Currently, all the creek crossings are fairly easy (with the proper footwear). The crossings are also blessed with fairly grippy rock, which helps greatly. As always, though, turn back if you feel uncomfortable.
Everyone mentions the huge potholes on the last half mile of road. They are real, but seriously, though, all but the most low-slung sportcars should have no problem. If that's you, just park near the end of the pavement and walk the easy 0.4 miles to the trailhead.
The entire trail was very clean today, despite heavy use. How nice to be able to say that! Anybody else remember when we used to drive up here, and Snoqualmie Lake was a quick 2-mile hike? I hate to think of what it would look like now if that were still the case! Here's to solitude.
