Carpooling is required for this hike as this is a point to point hike. This is a Go-Getter hike and the mileage is slightly longer than the May requirements.
This is a traverse hike travelling the length of Rattlesnake Ridge from Rattlesnake Lake Trailhead to Snoqualmie Point Trailhead. There are several view points along the way and we will time our breaks to align with these, with a longer lunch break.
Afterward, we'll head to South Fork North Bend for food & socializing. While not required, please plan on attending--because of the car drops and carpools, this will make everything logistically easier.
Meeting place and time
We will all meet the Snoqualmie Point trailhead at 7am, where we will consolidate into a few cars to drive over to the Rattlesnake Ledge Trailhead. We will start the one way hike from this trailhead and end at the Snoqualmie Point trailhead where we will return others to their cars at the Rattlesnake Ledge Trailhead.
More details will be in the Hello Hiker email.
