Mount Washington — Friday, Nov. 4, 2011

Snoqualmie Region > North Bend Area

The trail is steep and rocky the first two miles but in good shape. Those two miles are harder on the feet on the way down. There is still a little fall color. At about 2.5 miles powdery snow on the trail starts that quickly increases and stays at about 3" up to the summit. It was fairly easy to walk in and the footprints made it easy to follow the trail all the way up. There are a couple of fairly easy water crossings. We saw just four people the whole day. I totally agree with the poster that said the upper part of this trail is better than just going to The Owl Spot. On a clear day you can see Mount Rainier from just below the summit in addition to the nice Mt Si area and beyond views from the summit.
