DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS:
Drive east on I-90 to the first Snoqualmie Pass exit. Cross under freeway to Alpental Road and drive to the end and park in the Alpental Parking lot. Distance is 55 miles from Seattle 65th Park & Ride and the driving time is approximately 1 hour.
GEAR:
- Ice Axe is always required.
- Snowshoes with aggressive points on the bottom such as MSR.
- Crampons. They will probably NOT be required. However, if we have a big rain/freeze cycle, then they might be. In that case, I will notify everybody of the change.
- Avalanche shovel and/or probe. We should have 4 shovels and I would like to have at least one probe. Please notify me if you have one.
- Forest Passes ARE required at the trailhead
ROUTE:
From the main Alpental Ski Area parking lot we will hike the route of the summer trail to Snow Lake. We will snowshoe across the middle of Snow Lake, then up to Wright Mountain at the north end of the lake.
