On drizzly days in Seattle, Snow Lake is always the perfect choice 🌧️

During Seattle's rainy late autumn, the scenery along the Snow Lake Trail never disappoints. The pristine, freshly fallen snow against the calm, azure lake will make you whisper, "Life is worth living." 🏞️✨ Things to Note: Weather forecasts can be unreliable. At higher elevations, rain might turn into snow. A rainproof jacket + detachable down vest is your best bet. 🧥🧤 When the sun shines in the mountains, it’s surprisingly warm—perfect for photos. You might even hear the gentle sound of melting snow dripping through the pine forests. 🌲📸 The parking lot is spacious 🅿️ Start early! It’s best to begin hiking before 10 AM. The mountain in Image 2 becomes backlit after 1 PM, making the colors less vibrant. ⏰ Spikes are a must! Without them, the climb can be challenging. Available at REI or Amazon. 🥾 Hiking boots are essential. Waterproof pants or snow pants are highly recommended. Recent trail conditions include gushing streams, so waterproof boots are a game-changer. 💧 Return early. Temperatures drop quickly after sunset, and wet rocks turning icy can make the trail slippery. ❄️🌙 #Seattle #SeattleLife #Hiking #TrailRecommendations #SnowScenery #SnowLake
