Snow Lake (Alpine Lakes Wilderness)

 
Snow Lake is in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness area. The access road is off of I90 at the summit of Snoqualmie Pass. Although we have been here during snow season, we typically avoid that due to avalanche danger. Mainly a 3-season destination, including Gem Lake which is a couple miles up and beyond Snow Lake as well as the two Wildcat Lakes a ways beyond Gem Lake. The waters at Snow Lake are pristine. During the hot summer days we love to dive off raised shore areas and swim here.
