Snoqualmie Mountain
Snoqualmie Region
updated 1 month ago
The trail up Snoqualmie Mountain is consistently described as very steep, gaining over 3,000 feet in under two miles, and is not recommended for beginners. Reports from July 9 to August 26 indicate the trail is snow-free and in good condition, though loose dirt and rocks are common, making trekking poles highly recommended, especially for the descent. Water sources on the trail are dry as of August 8, so all water must be carried. Wild blueberries were noted as ripe on August 8. While early reports mention terrible mosquitoes above the treeline as of July 6, later reports from August 17 and August 26 indicate bugs were not a significant issue. Smoke from nearby fires has been a factor, with air quality varying, but some reports mention clear views. Parking at the Alpental lot can fill up, even on weekdays, as noted on July 25.
