One of Washington’s classic hikes. Rattlesnake Ledge is a moderate, 4 mile round-trip day hike with 1,160 ft in elevation gain. The trail switchbacks up steeply to a rocky ledge with views of Mount Si and the surrounding area. We’ll hike past the ledge to the third viewpoint and stop for lunch.
Please pack your ten essentials including a snack (or early lunch). We will hike at an easy/moderate pace (around 2.0 mph) and take breaks to appreciate the views and photo ops. We’ll have a snack and rest at the top before retracing our steps back to the trailhead.
