Lake Dorothy - Lake Bear - Lake Deer, Nordrum Lake & Snoqualmie Lake — Monday, Jul. 24, 2000

Central Cascades > Stevens Pass - West

The purpose of this trip was to inspect the contracted work on the Snoqualmie and Nordstrom Lake Trails. Surprisingly, there were no obstructions to the Miller River Trailhead. All trails were completely snow-free. There is a set of windfalls at the south end of Dorothy Lake and one on a switchback 0.2 miles before the ridge. There is one windfall between Beer and Dare Lakes and one suspended seven feet off the trail by Snoqualmie Lake. The Nordstrom Lake Trail has one windfall 0.2 miles before the lake. Both the Snoqualmie and Nordstrom Lake Trails have been brushed out and logged with the exceptions noted above. The Nordstrom Lake Trail should be renamed the K-Mart Lake Trail owing to the really worn out tread - very rooty, rocky and slippery. The Taylor River Road has some brushy spots between the four and six mile points. Nordrum Lake' We pronounce it NORDSTROM in Bellevue.
