Web Mountain via Putrid Pete's Peak
Snoqualmie Region
updated 1 month ago
The trail to Putrid Pete's Peak and onward to Web Mountain features steep ascents and a primitive, rocky ridge traverse. Reports from August 2026 indicate the trail is largely snow-free and suitable for all vehicles up to the trailhead. Obstacles include downed trees on occasion, and some sections can be overgrown or feature primitive, rocky terrain with big steps. One report from August 9 mentioned terrible bugs, but other reports in late July and August indicated bugs were not a significant issue. The route can be steep, with grades exceeding 50% in sections, and may involve some scrambling, particularly near the summits.
