By combining the
Silver-Tinkham Loop, the
Melakwa Pass Loop, and the
Granite Mountain Circumnavigation you get... the Snoqualmie Pass Circuit: a 32-mile loop with over 12,000 feet of elevation gain that tours the Snoqualmie Pass area. The Circuit has views of over a dozen alpine lakes, travels directly over the summits of two peaks, and experiences everything from challenging off-trail travel and climbing a 1,000 vertical feet over talus to running the incomparably well-maintained Pacific Crest Trail.
Distance: Just over 32 miles
Elevation Gain: Around 12,000 feet

Great idea to connect all of the loops into one big one.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to do this circuit as an overnight but add on the PCT north to Gravel and Ridge lakes, then traverse over to Snow Lake. Anyone know a resource on the viability of this in Summer? I see on the Snoqualmie Divide route you do a good portion of the traverse by going pretty far north. Is there a more direct way to get it done?
