For every busy summit in the popular Cascade Mountain Range of Washington State, there are 10 more where solitude is virtually guaranteed. Big Snow Mountain, at the northern edge of the Snoqualmie mountains is one such place. With no official trail, and road closures making even the most convenient approach anything but, this summit is hard earned, but comes with a serious dose of wilderness experience.
By late summer, the snows have mostly disappeared, the bugs have mostly called it a season, but the forest fires in the western United States and Canada still spread a heavy haze across the Pacific Northwest. While this phenomenon can hamper the views during the full light of day, when the sun reaches the western horizon, a spectacular show of soft, gauzy beams of light set off the topography as layer after layer of peaks are set in relief from the backlit haze, while the pastel hues of evening are enhanced by the infinite refractions from the airborne particulate.
