Kim joined me for a hike up from Rattlesnake Lake to the ledges and on to the East Peak. No snow on the trail until near the lower ledge. Near the top there was a foot or so. A few recent hikers had begun to put in a trench. No need for snowshoes or even traction devices yet. A freeze thaw cycle and that might change. Tracks went on towards the West Peak and Grand Prospect. We saw only a few groups above the ledges. Not all that many below. No steady rain until the last few miles coming down. The snow plastered trees make it look like mid winter up high. My full report with all 24 photos is at: East Rattlesnake Report & Photos Here are a few photos:

Good time of year and day to go -- it's mobbed on sunny summer days.

No it's the ridge on the south side of the freeway from North Bend.

Nice pictures Jim. Love the bench shot.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, dream, discover. -- Mark Twain
