Snoqualmie Region > Snoqualmie Pass

We arrived at the parking lot about 830AM. 2 other cars. It was nice to head up while it was still cool. No bugs all day! Minimal snow for the first 2.5 miles, up to the flat area above Snowshoe Falls. After the little log bridge, it’s about 50-75% snow until the last 500(?) or so vertical feet, and then solid snow from there on to the lake. Below Hemlock Pass finding the route becomes more challenging and at times a bit steep. We appreciated having poles, sturdy boots, and gaiters.
