Guye Peak via Alpental bootpath

Date: 2004/09/22
Trip type: scramble
Total Time: 3 hours 3 minutes
USGS quad: Snoqualmie Pass
In areas: South Fork Snoqualmie Drainage, Alpine Lakes Wilderness
Aesthetic rating: 3/5
Trip Organizer: The Mountaineers Scrambling Committee

We took the bootpath starting at the first Alpental parking lot (just south of the Snow Lake trailhead). The first section of the trail was steep, rocky, wet (the trail is a creek for a while), and a bit brushy. When the trail got to a clearing it forked left to Snoqualmie Mountain and right to Guye Peak. We took the right fork to the top of the ridge and another intersection, we took the right fork along the ridge to Guye Peak (the left fork must lead to Commonwealth Basin). There was a bit of easy rock scrambling in the last part of the trail.

Comments

After the first intersection in the clearing the trail passes through beautiful woods and meadows. There is a lovely little pond on the top of the ridge.
