We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Snoqualmie Mountain Trailhead yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Snoqualmie Mountain Trailhead
A true test of strength, this trail has no mercy. Straight up from the beginning, but a beautiful waterfall half way up, then 360 views at the top. Highly recommend trekking poles and good shoes. A real knee buster!
This is an amazing hard hike. 3000 ft of elevation gain. Straight up the whole time. Hard on the knees on the way down. I did it without pokes and with my little dog. I wish I had poke about halfway down though. There's really no flat walking areas. Waterfall to cool off at halfway. The views at the top are amazing.
Unmaintained trailhead. Pretty savage, more scramble rather than hiking. Besides good pair of shoes you definitely need a good pair of legs and lungs! Amazing view at the top!
Beautiful but very steep hike with plenty of mosquitoes. It’s challenging, but the trail is quiet and not too crowded.
