Access:
I-90 to exit #52. Turn north at the exit ramp, and take the first right into the PCT-North parking area. The lot to the left is intended for stock; hikers can continue straight to the main parking lot. The trail starts at the east end of the parking lot.
Attractions & Considerations:
Begin at the Pacific Crest Trail #2000, following it for 2.5 miles to a junction. Take the left fork (Trail #1033). On the west side of Commonwealth Creek, the trail rises steeply, switch backing up a ridge. It levels out at Red Pond and then begins another series of switchbacks. About 0.5 mile above Red Pond the trail ends at Red Pass. This is an excellent spot for a lofty lunch. Views are good in all directions - especially towards the Middle Fork Snoqualmie River and Thompson Peak.
Notes:
- A Northwest Forest Pass is required for each vehicle parked at the trailhead.
- Use established rings for campfires. No fires above 4000 feet.
- The trail is closed to motorized vehicles, stock and bicycles.
- Dogs must be on a leash.
