Last day of the month to get your hike in! However, this route will probably have snow, somewhere. If you have microspikes, consider bringing them. Depending on the amount of snow, we could divert to one of many nearby trails.

The trail starts from the Snoqualmie Pass Alpental ski area and climbs 700 feet in the first 1.5 miles. From there, you have a wonderful view of Snow Lake. Descend about 200 feet to the lakes side. It's 8 miles round trip with 1,800 feet of elevation gain and a 4,400 ft high point.
