Granite Mountain, Granite Mountain - Winter — Saturday, Mar. 5, 2005

Snoqualmie Region > Snoqualmie Pass

The first 3/4 of the trail is completely clear and in good shape, and the south face is snow-free; summer route is the way to go. After traversing the gully and heading up on the ridge, you'll run into snow. The north side of Granite has approx 2' to 2' 6"". The most straight forward way up heads behind (north side) of the ridge, then heads straight up just to the left of the lookout tower. Surface snow was a bit melted due to the sun, but the path was well traveled. Gaiters, warm clothes, poles and/or ax recommended for the top. 2 hrs up.
