Rattlesnake Ledge
Snoqualmie Region
Rattlesnake Ledge is currently experiencing very crowded conditions, especially on weekends. Parking fills up early, with reports from April 26th and May 4th noting full lots and cars parked along the road by mid-morning. The trail itself is well-maintained with no significant obstacles reported in recent reports (April 11th - May 9th). Loose debris and slippery rocks are noted in some sections, making good traction footwear recommended. The lake is full and its color is described as stunning. Wildflowers are minimal, though salmonberry blooms and some trillium have been spotted in late April. Leash compliance with dogs is an issue for some hikers, and tick season is beginning.

Had a great time hiking this. For a beginner like me, it was a bit of a challenge, but the views were rewarding. Very crowded in the later hours during the day though, so plan to arrive early.
