Fagin's Hike of the Week- Davis Peak

Davis Peak is east of Snoqualmie Pass in the Salmon La Sac area. It offers great views and is a terrific fall hike. Be ready for a work out - 3900 foot gain! Best for views through this Saturday 9-20-2020. I was there several years ago, however I just read a recent trip report that the trail is in good condition.

Driving Directions: 

From Seattle drive east on I-90 to take exit 80 (signed "Roslyn/Salmon la Sac"). 

Head north on Salmon la Sac Road (State Route 903) about 15 miles, passing through Roslyn and past Cle Elum Lake to Salmon la Sac. 

Go right at the Y to stay on the main road (rather than entering the campground), and in 1.6 miles look for the Davis Peak trailhead and turn left and drive short distance to trail parking.


Trail Stats: 11 miles roundtrip and 3900 foot gain.
