fhf3723 Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 Does anybody have a suggestion where to hike for a weekend off I-90. Challenging and scenic. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tivoli_mike Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 I dunno. you can try doing the Pratt Lake Loop, if you're looking to some snow camping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fhf3723 Posted January 14, 2003 Author Share Posted January 14, 2003 does that bring you back thru Keekwulee falls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegetablebelay Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 I can think of a number of one day trips off of I-90, but not alot of true overnighters. Snoqualmie Mountain or Red Mountain might be challenging enough but just one day trips. There are also lots of peaks out of Easton and Salmon La Sac.

mattp Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 The Mount Margaret area would probably be pretty good because you could snowshoe up to the crest at about 5,000 feet without crossing any avalanche zones and there are some nice lakes up there. However, you may share part of that Rocky Run road system with snowmobilers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregm Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 also up that rocky run road is rampart ridge that we ski toured a while back trip report . i think it would make a good snowshoe too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbirdseat Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 You could go into Kendall Lakes and camp if you like. It's pretty easy, mostly on old logging road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fhf3723 Posted January 15, 2003 Author Share Posted January 15, 2003 Can you make it up the taylor river road far enough to get to bear lake? Thanks everyone for the great info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obsydian Posted January 16, 2003 Share Posted January 16, 2003 Silver Peak area is one idea. You get above treeline. Can go in via Hyak, or Lake Annette. PCT goes through there. If going up by Hyak, can ski in, even take the chairlift up to the top of Hyak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik Posted January 16, 2003 Share Posted January 16, 2003 taylor river road is closed at its junction with middle fork of the snoqualime. Â they are allowing it to overgrow into a trail. Â but it is a pleasent bike ride. Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obsydian Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 We just did Roosevelt this Saturday 1/19, that area beyond Snow Lake is very nice, the lake is frozen, can walk right across it. Gain one of the ridges on the other side by Gem lake, the views are great, can see and hear folks climbing Chair Peak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
