Trail rebuild nearing completion

Snoqualmie Region
The trail to East Peak is generally in good condition, with most reports indicating it's free of snow and suitable for all vehicles as of September 7. However, one report from August 2 noted the trail becomes significantly overgrown above 2,500 feet, leading the hiker to turn back before reaching the peak. While the lower sections and the first ledge can be quite busy, opting to continue past the first ledge to Middle and Upper Ledges offers more solitude and better paths, according to reports from September 7 and August 1. Views from East Peak itself have been variable, with some experiencing limited visibility due to fog on September 7, while others found the view underwhelming on August 1.

Rattlesnake Ledge was great (but busy), Middle and Upper ledges amazing and much less busy. East Peak itself was a bit disappointing, too many trees for any decent views.
