Granite Mountain — Monday, Oct. 29, 2001

Snoqualmie Region > Snoqualmie Pass

Four of us left Seattle at 6 pm last Tuesday to hike Granite. It was raining a little bit, somewhat windy when we cleared the forest, but all in all pretty nice. There is less snow there than there was when I was there last time, in June. Of course it may have changed by now. The trail was very nice, the easy scrambling at the top very, eh, easy, and there was enough ambient light to make headlamps unnecessary - a good thing, since I forgot mine at home. We weren't back in Seattle until 2 am, but the hike really shouldn't take more than 3-4 hours car-to-car if you keep a decent pace.
