Mount Catherine — Thursday, Aug. 21, 2025

Snoqualmie Region > Snoqualmie Pass
View of Snoqualmie Pass

Short hike up to the summit.

Road Conditions. 5 miles of unpaved road. Generously potholed at the bottom, mostly fine otherwise, except for random speed bumps, and one small washout that could cause a low-clearance car some trouble. No trailhead facilities or signage, space for 3 cars + plenty of roadside parking.

Trail Conditions. The only obstacle were two blowdowns (∅ ~1.5ft), easy enough to climb over/duck under. Nice pine needle duff tread, except for the start of the trail (old logging road), and the last couple feet to the summit (which is almost a scramble).

Highlights. Some ripe blueberries. I swear I heard a pika somewhere.

Crowds. Encountered half a dozen parties on the trail. Must get a bit busy on weekends!
