Annette Lake — Sunday, Aug. 17, 2025

Snoqualmie Region > Snoqualmie Pass
Annette Lake by Gnome47

This is a dreamy gem of a hike close to Seattle!

-arrived around 10am. Parking lot was almost /but not quite full (reminder to park mindfully without big gaps - as the back of the lot could have accommodated a few more cars if folks parked slightly closer together)
-bathroom at TH still had some TP. But good to bring your own. Just in case.
-trail is in excellent condition! Thank you trail workers!
-a few berries along the trail and large quantities around the lake. It’s the season!
-lake is so pretty with crystal clear water and a sweet waterfall on the backside.
-water is cold but not frigid. Perfect for a swim!
-forest is lush and the switchbacks are gentle.

And… we saw Miles the Marmot on the trail. Great reminder to support WTAs hike-a-thon

Please remember to #leavenotrace
