Upper Wildcat Lake, Lower Wildcat Lake, Gem Lake & Snow Lake — Thursday, Aug. 11, 2016

Snoqualmie Region > Snoqualmie Pass

I'll mainly comment on the trail from Gem Lake to the Wildcat Lakes. The trail was easy enough to follow throughout. Lower Wildcat Lake had a tough act to follow after beautiful and serene Gem Lake and unfortunately not much can be said about it. Stopped to watch someone fish for a minute but was eager to push on through to Upper Wildcat Lake. But there is a campsite at LWC for anyone interested. The final portion to Upper Wildcat Lake is very overgrown, with a couple trees to climb over or under, and some tricky crossings to stay on the trail. But overall, certainly a distinguished trail. As a whole, this is one of those up and down trails; up and down to Snow, then up to Gem, then lots of down to the Wildcat Lakes. It never gets boring, that's for sure! There are lots of great views, easy access to water and campsites, and lots of mosquitos.
