Snoqualmie Region > Snoqualmie Pass

The trail began at 3700 feet and a lot of snow falling on Tues morning. We started upward and onward. Passing lots of blueberry bushes (Yum) we made it up the first set of switchbacks to the first level portion approximatly half way. The snow really started sticking at about 4300 feet, gaining elevation brought about 2 inches of snowpack on trail. This trail is beautiful the whole way up!! Little views due to lots of clouds but it was all worth the short trek to the top! Coming upon a small meadow the trail turns up a short steep ridge to find a cable to help you up to the snowy rocky top! Great views finally of Ollalie Meadows, Silver Peak and down to Snoqualmie Pass. Hurry and get this one in before the snow really starts to fall, its well worth it!
