Cedar Butte
Snoqualmie Region
Cedar Butte trail conditions are mixed, with the most recent reports (May 29 - June 6) indicating significant overgrowth and several downed trees requiring stepping over. Mosquitoes were noted as bad on May 24. Road status and parking appear generally good, though finding the trailhead from the parking lot can be confusing without clear signage (May 24, April 25).
Snow is no longer a concern as of late April reports. The trail is described as in good to great shape by late April and May reports, despite some conflicting mentions of blowdowns and overgrowth. Rattlesnake Lake is at a high water level, presenting a scenic view. Detours to Christmas Lake are recommended for varied scenery.
