Mount Washington
Snoqualmie Region
updated 1 week ago
The trail to Mount Washington has intermittent snow, though it's not difficult to cross as of November 3. There are several trees down across the trail, particularly in the lower sections, and some hikers have described the trail as very rocky, appearing like a dry creek bed in places, September 22. The road is suitable for all vehicles, and parking is available, though some noted the gravel path past the trailhead was closed. Bugs are not an issue, and crowds are generally low.
