This is a point to point hike with a key exchange in the middle, and carpooling is required. We will traverse the length of Rattlesnake Ridge traveling eastbound from the Snoqualmie Point trailhead. There are several viewpoints along the way (Grand Prospect, Windy Landing, and Rattlesnake Ledge) and we'll exchange keys with the westbound group.
Afterward, we'll head to South Fork North Bend for food and socializing with the westbound group. While not required, please plan on attending---because of the car drops and carpools, this will make everything logistically easier for all.
7:00 am at the Snoqualmie Point Trailhead to organize carpools & exchange cars/keys. Discover Pass required.
Eastbound hikers start from this trailhead. Westbound hikers will drive will drive a foreign car to the Rattlesnake trailhead and each group will end the hike with their own vehicles. Each direction will need two cars/two drivers.
