Palouse to Cascades Trail - Rattlesnake Lake, Palouse to Cascades Trail - The Tunnel & Palouse to Cascades Trail - Easton — Friday, Sep. 14, 2007

Snoqualmie Region > North Bend Area

9/13 We started our three-day jaunt from the Cedar Falls trailhead. There were not a lot of others on the trail so the walk was quiet. The state was doing some maintenance here and there but shut down their equipment to let us pass. We hiked to Carter Creek camp where we set up for the night. I would like to thank the state for the great facilities along the trail. 9/14 We started for the Snoqualmie Tunnel in the fog. We were the only ones on the trail until we neared the tunnel where the bicycle traffic began to pick up. The hour trek through the tunnel was wet. When we exited in Hyak, the sun was beginning to break through. We continued until we reached Roaring Creek campground. My Green Trails map shows the camp is located on Roaring Creek. It isn’t, it’s about ¼ mile east of the creek. 9/15 We woke to an Elk bugling nearby. That was cool. We headed out for Easton. We met many people using this section of the trail. Once we reached Easton, we headed for the store on Railroad Avenue to wait for our ride.
