Source Lake - Winter Route, Source Lake, Snow Lake & Snow Lake - Winter — Saturday, Dec. 23, 2017

Snoqualmie Region > Snoqualmie Pass
Source Lake

No problems getting to the trailhead in my 2 WD Corolla without tire chains. There was snow and ice on the road but the road is relatively straight and flat so it was easy driving.

We were in our snowshoes all day, and probably could not have made it to Snow Lake without them (skis would have been fine too). The trail to Source Lake was pretty well packed firm, but to get to Snow Lake we had to travel up steep terrain in loose, dry powder which would have been very difficult without the snowshoes. We saw a few small avalanche slides, so we avoided the really steep faces.

It was a beautiful day at Snow Lake. This trail rarely disappoints.
