Meet at 3:30 pm at High Point Way/Exit 20 off I-90 to carpool to Snoqualmie Pass

The saddle above Snow Lake on the official trail is a good stopping point, for snacks and lake views. Note that we will not be descending to Snow Lake since the trail from the ridge line is still completely snow covered at this time of year. Pace will be on the slow side of moderate but steady. Don't forget the headlamps, just in case.
