Snoqualmie Region > Snoqualmie Pass

While scouting out snow conditions in the Cold Creek Valley, we thought it would be nice to bag another peak. So, despite the 91 degree reading on the car's thermometer, we headed up. Snow was encountered once up on the ridge; the trail was about 60% snow covered... enough to get someone lost on the return trip. We found our way alright though, and were actually able to find a bushwhack route for the last 40 or so vertical feet to the summit, which were up a snowfield. Awesome views!
