Mount Catherine — Sunday, Jul. 12, 1998

Snoqualmie Region > Snoqualmie Pass

This fine Monday found me doing the Cold Creek to Twin Lakes to Mirror Lake to PCT to Mt Gardner trail to Silver Peak to Windy Pass to Mt Catherine to Cold Creek loop. I do this each year and I always enjoy it, especially on a weekday. There is no snow on the trail, very little mud, almost no bugs (where are they this year'), and the flowers are out on Silver Peak. I had the whole area to myself until 6PM when I encountered two parties as I approached Windy Pass. What a bummer to have to return to work today!
