Kendall Peak Lakes Snowshoe Washington

 Today we headed up to Snoqualmie Pass for a great snowshoe hike. The trailhead to Kendall Peak Lakes is across I-90 from Hyak. The trail mainly follows a logging road. We went around this downed tree early on. This is a popular hike, so the snow was nicely packed down for us. It is a 9 mile roundtrip hike with 1900 ft of elevation gain.

As we followed the logging road up on top of the ridge, the wind was very cold, we were glad when the trail left the road and went into the woods towards the lakes.



 The lake is in a nice sheltered area, very little wind here. We sat by the frozen lake enjoying our lunch.





On the way down, we took the spur trail to the overlook, not much of a view with all the clouds today. But we spent a little more time in the beautiful outdoors!
