​​Snow Lake Trail | A Hidden Gem in Seattle's Backyard 💙​​

Our recent hike to ​​Snow Lake​​ (located within the Alpine Lakes Wilderness, WA) was a perfect blend of challenge and reward. Here's our complete trail diary from this stunning alpine adventure: 📍 ​​Location & Access:​​ Snow Lake Trailhead, WA (About 2 hours from Seattle - prepare for mountain driving!) 💫 ​​Trail Experience:​​ 🥾 ​​Hike Details:​​ • Distance: ~5 miles roundtrip • Elevation gain: 1,200 ft • Difficulty: Moderate (with some challenging sections) • Time: 3 hours 45 minutes roundtrip ​​The Journey:​​ Steady climb through forested trails Rocky sections requiring careful footing Spectacular lake views from the summit Turned back at the lake due to muddy conditions - next time we'll bring proper gear! 🌲 ​​Forest Encounters:​​ • Towering evergreens providing shade • Occasional mountain views through the trees • The sound of rushing water added to the ambiance 🐕 ​​Dog-Friendly Notes:​​ • Leashed dogs welcome • Be prepared for: 3-4 small stream crossings Muddy paws and wet fur Some muddy trail sections 🅿️ ​​Parking & Facilities:​​ • Spacious parking lot (filled with ~30-40 cars on our Saturday visit) • Basic restroom facilities • Pass requirements: Multiple pass options accepted Note: Popular spot - arrive early for parking! 👥 ​​Crowd Observations:​​ • Larger groups than expected • Frequent need to step aside for passing hikers • Prefer quieter hikes?
