Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) Section J - Snoqualmie Pass to Stevens Pass — Sunday, Aug. 16, 2009

Snoqualmie Region > Snoqualmie Pass

Trail was in good condition - only a few downed trees. Stream crossings were do-able. The Pacific Crest Trail is closed at its junction with the Pete Lake Trail # 1323 and Lemah Meadows Trail 1323.2 due to a fire. The bypass for people traveling the PCT uses the Pete Lake Trail #1323 and the Lemah Meadows Trail 1323.2. The bypass parallels the PCT and does not add any significant distance. The stream crossing (Lemah) required us changing into sandals but the water was only up to mid-calf. The other stream crossings (streams that flow into Hyas Lake) were simple rock-hops even in the afternoon. There were evening bugs - flies and mosquitoes.
