Trip Report

Mount Defiance — Tuesday, May. 12, 2026

Snoqualmie Region > Snoqualmie Pass

The views from the top today and the hillsides of glacier lilies (also near the top after leaving the forest) made for a great day.

Trail - in great shape with virtually no snow (and thanks to whoever cleared the one tree down at the beginning of hike while I was  up top!)/ Gaia said 10.5 mi/3400'. 

Road to TH - in great shape - dusty.

People - after leaving Mason Lake, saw 6 people on the trail. Had overlap with some at the summit and also an hour on my own. The trail to Mason had maybe 15 people or so.

Flowers - in addition to the glacier lilies, lots of spreading pholx and desert parsley.

Parking - plenty of room all day
