Ira Spring Trail - Mason Lake, Island Lake - Rainbow Lake — Sunday, Nov. 7, 1999

Snoqualmie Region > Snoqualmie Pass

I heard viscous rumours that there is a trail from exit 42 to the start of the Mason Lake. So on a very soggy day I set out to find it. Alas, 'twas not to be found, but the travel is easy through the once-logged area. It sure beats driving 6 miles, and only takes about 1/2 hour and 500' elevation gain to get to the trailhead. There was no snow all the way to Mason Lake. Just a skosh at Rainbow Lake, which was mostly frozen.
