Day Hike - Rattlesnake Mountain, East Peak

COVID -19   Following the Mountaineer’s protocol all hikers are required to have face masks and hand sanitizer.  We will wear masks when at the trailhead, stopping on the trail and when passing other hikers or being passed.  Also, we need to social distance at 6 feet the best that we can and all are encouraged to wear masks as much as possible. 

The Mountaineers do not recommend carpooling with anyone outside your household at this time.

ROUTE:  This is an out and back hike starting at the Snoqualmie Point trailhead hiking to our destination of East Peak.  It’s not a difficult trail but I'm calling it challenging due to the length plus there may be some snow to contend with.

The pace will be moderate at 2-2.25 mph and we will stop at the lookout points (Stan’s Overlook, Grand Prospect and East Peak).  Otherwise, just minimal breaks as needed and we will keep the group together.

Micro-spikes will be required and I’ll send an email the day before the hike with expected weather and trail conditions.

This hike will be a go even if intermittent light rain, drizzle, fog, etc. but will be rescheduled if the weather becomes extreme.
