Snoqualmie Region
updated 1 month ago
The Palouse to Cascades Trail segment from Homestead Valley to Mine Creek Trestle is reported in good condition, with no snow. A significant washout that occurred last winter has been addressed with a new, well-maintained gravel bypass trail, making it safe for travel around the affected area. Road access to trailheads appears suitable for all vehicles as of August 15. While popular with hikers and cyclists, the trail is not overly crowded, though some bikers may move at high speeds. Hikers should be aware of cyclists and potential encounters with rock climbers.
