Wilderness Peak Loop — Saturday, Dec. 3, 2022

Issaquah Alps > Cougar Mountain
The bridge crossing Wilderness Creek to start the hike.

Enjoyed a sunny and snowy hike up and around Wilderness Peak following all the cold temps and low-level snow we’ve received over the last few days.

From the parking lot, the snow is fairly sparse, but increases to about 5-6” near the top of Wilderness Peak. Luckily, the whole trail is nicely packed down and made traveling easy. Traction spikes didn’t seem necessary, but there are definitely some slick spots on the downhill sections. On that note, we hiked counter-clockwise and only saw 15 or so other hikers.

Snow around the 1100’ level.
Hiking back down to the loop junction.
