2007-06-10 Rattlesnake Mountain

10.5 miles
Maximum Elevation: 3,522 ft.
Complete stats to come.

Christina, Matt, Jeff, and I decided on this hike as it had a good balance of height and length, and for the novelty of a one-way hike. The hike is 10.5 miles starting up Rattlesnake Ledge (the first 2 miles) followed by 2.4 more miles to East Peak, 1.9 more miles to West Peak, and finally 4.2 more miles to Snoqualmie Point. We, of course, used two cars to pull this off.

This was the longest hike I've ever done. However, with only 2,900 ft. of elevation gain, this one didn't rank high in terms of the highest hikes. However, it was pretty challenging, partially because of the weather. It rained pretty much the entire time. That, combined with the fact that the hike routes along a completely tree covered ridge will explain why I only have these pictures:


The gang at the "top"


Radio tower, not of steel! (inside joke)


And the altitude
