Rattlesnake Mountain

Snoqualmie Region

updated 2 weeks ago

Rattlesnake Mountain remains largely snow-free. The trail is generally in good condition, with plenty of people frequenting the popular ledges up to about two miles from Rattlesnake Lake. Beyond this point, the trail can be slightly overgrown in places, with a few blowdowns noted, some of which require stepping or straddling. One report from August 2 mentioned the trail becoming quite overgrown above 2,500 feet, leading to a turnaround before reaching East Peak. While the road is suitable for all vehicles, parking can be busy, especially on weekends. No significant bug issues have been reported recently.
