Snow Lake is yet another of Washington State's beautiful alpine lakes. The route to reach it begins near the Summit at Snoqualmie, but unlike most of the famous Snoqualmie trail runs, it doesn't follow the Pacific Crest Trail alignment. Instead, it strikes off up a different valley, climbing over a low pass and descending the other side to reach Snow Lake.
