Nosh Nosh Wahtum, Cathedral Rock — Sunday, Jun. 29, 2014

Snoqualmie Region > Salmon La Sac/Teanaway

Snow on the trail. Our attempt was to day hike Trail 1345 to Cathedral Rock and we turned back before making it to Squaw Lake. The trail is still covered with snow at around the 2.5 mile marker (4500 ft) where the trail splits into trail 1322 and trail 1345. We met some guys coming down who spent the night at Squaw and said you needed to be an orienteer to actually make it to Cathedral Rock... as the trail is completely covered. Lots of melting going on, which made the trail below Squaw quite muddy. The drive in on Fish Lake Road is bumpy and full of potholes and there is a stream that crosses the road. We were able to cross it in a Toyota mini van... but only after watching a few others do it. I recommend all wheel vehicles or sturdy autos for this back road trip of 11 - 14 miles to the Tucquala Trailhead.
