A very lovely I-90 corridor hike! Great forest walk with good variation and a solid view of the lakes and Mt. Rainier at the top. And on the other side, peeks of Baker, Glacier and such. Only patchy snow near the top, used a pole and managed just fine without micro spikes. This one is definitely steeper than some of the other North Bend usual's, but very much worth it. Once your about half way in the I-90 noise fades out, so I pulled out the headphones to enjoy the wilderness, and plus you never know if you’re going to make a new friend! In all, ran into maybe less than a dozen people total on the trail.
Cheers!
