Change Peak
Snoqualmie Region
updated 1 week ago
One report from November 3 indicates trees are down across the main hiking trail up Mt. Washington, though they are not too difficult to pass. The "Great Wall" route has fewer obstacles. Intermittent snow is present but not difficult to cross, and spikes are not yet needed. The road is suitable for all vehicles, and there are no bugs reported. The "Peeing rock" spring is barely a trickle, and stream crossings have very little water. Parking requires a Discover Pass, and the privy is stocked with toilet paper.
