Day Hike - Stan's Overlook

Join the Tacoma Singles to explore the west side of Rattlesnake Mountain on a good trail through a combination of deciduous and old growth forest to a viewpoint with a picnic table overlooking the town of Snoqualmie.

  • Moderate

  • Mileage: 4.8 mi
  • Elevation Gain: 1,020 ft
  • High Point Elevation: 2,100 ft

Meet at 10 AM by the trailhead, near the restroom.  The trailhead parking lot is reached by taking Exit 27 from I-90, turning right at the end of the exit ramp and right again just before reaching the end of the road at Snoqualmie Point.  We are NOT meeting at Snoqualmie Point.  We are meeting in the parking lot south of there.  Cars parked at the trailhead parking lot must display the Discover Pass. 

This is a pleasant hike through a DNR managed forest alternating deciduous and and old growth trees to a viewpoint with a nice picnic table overlooking the town of Snoqualmie.  We return by the same route.
