Guye Peak
Snoqualmie Region
updated 2 weeks ago
Today, October 22, 2026, Guye Peak remains accessible with snow-free conditions reported as of October 21. The road to the trailhead is suitable for all vehicles. However, the trail itself presents several obstacles. Multiple trip reports indicate downed trees across the path, with one instance requiring duckwalking under a pair of them on the ridge face as of October 11. The unmaintained routes to the summit are noted as steep, rough, and overgrown in places, with some sections requiring route-finding skills and navigation assistance, as described on October 3. Mud and wet conditions were also reported on October 11, suggesting the need for grippy footwear and trekking poles. Scrambling is involved, particularly for the middle and south summits, with the north summit being more of a walk-up with Class 2 scrambling as of October 21.

As of October 11, there were several large trees down across the trail, with one pair on the ridge face requiring duckwalking under. Another report from October 21 also mentioned trees down across the trail.
Yes, the unmaintained trail to Guye Peak requires route-finding. Reports from October 3 and July 30 mention faint trail sections, boulder fields, and the need for navigation tools like GaiaGPS. One particular turnoff near a large deadfall log on the way to the small pond below Guye Peak was noted as easy to miss on July 30.
The trail was reported as very muddy and slippery at times on October 11, suggesting grippy shoes and trekking poles are recommended. On October 3, there were areas of overgrowth that could lead to getting soaked if wet foliage is encountered.
As of July 25, the Alpental parking lot was nearly full before 8am, requiring parking in the last row by the bridge. On October 3, there was plenty of parking when starting at 6:45 am.
