Despite thin snow at Snoqualmie Pass, once we started up the PCT there was plenty of snow for snowshoeing. The trail was well trodden the whole way, with a couple of sections of solid ice at stream crossings. Snowshoes remained in our packs the whole way; microspikes were essential.
Brilliant sunshine made for a most scenic day in the mountains. While we didn't attain the amphitheater of a previous trip to Second Kendall Knob, we did find a pleasant window overlooking the Snoqualmie ski areas for lunch.
