This is a hike along the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) from Snoqualmie Pass going South. It's a simple out and back hike. We will not be going all the way to Windy Pass. Instead, we'll stop at Ollalie Meadow which is very close to the pass. This change is intended to keep the hike slightly shorter and more manageable.

This section of the PCT takes us through the Snoqualmie ski area and into the backcountry. Along the trail there will be views of the valley. Like a lot of the PCT, it makes for a nice hike.
