4 hour hike, bring water and bear spray, saw one

This is a bucket list item and crowning point for a daytrip up and back from Rattlesnake Lake. The 18-mile ride up to the Pass is relatively easy railroad grade and doable, even if you don't think you can get up here. But the highlight is then going through the tunnel to a completely different world on the other side. Definitely bring a jacket (it's maybe 45 degrees in there?) and absolutely deck your bike in the brightest lights you can find. The drip, drip, drip of water and murmurs of other people will follow you throughout the 2.3 mile tunnel. There is a very nice rest area in Hyak on the East side of the tunnel - lots of water, a bike repair stand and tools, and a nice spot for a picnic before you turn around and zoom down the trail in a third of the time it took to come up. Or you can continue on to the East if you want!

The best place to stop for a rest and some food after climbing up the trail and going through the tunnel. There are restrooms, fresh water, a bike repair stand, tools and air pump and picnic tables. Oh, and a friendly sign post. If you are going from Cedar Falls to Easton, you are just over halfway there, and it's a slight downhill all the way!

Snoqualmie Pass is a mountain pass that carries I-90 traffic through the Cascade Range. It is also home to the Summit at Snoqualmie, a group of four ski areas.

In 1915, Hyak replaced Laconia as the main train station on Snoqualmie Pass. Hyak had a small school house, and a post office. A large attraction was the national ski championship events held at here from 1941 until 1949 when the lodge was lost to fire. The train station saw its last train roll across its tracks in 1981 when the Milwaukee Road Railroad sold off the line and it was decommissioned.

There are many ways to choose your own adventure on paved and unpaved trails throughout Suncadia. This loop focuses on the Wildlife Historical Trails, exploring the northeast side of the Cle Elum River. Trails junctions are frequent and well-marked throughout.

Gold Creek Pond is an ADA-accessible paved loop hike around a picturesque mountain pond atop Snoqualmie Pass. It is the perfect hike for small children, who can walk unassisted the whole route, for parents pushing strollers, and for people in wheelchairs. It's also a good leg stretcher for folks who have been driving a long time and need a break. This pond started off as a gravel pit used to build I-90m but has since been reclaimed.

The vistas from Iron Bear Peak are stunning — a big reward for a moderate level of effort. Look for views all the way from imposing Mount Stuart to Mount Rainier, which on clear days looks a bit like a massive, majestic flying saucer hovering on the horizon.
