Limits, like fears….. Are often an illusion

Hiking Time to Rattlesnake Ridge: 1 hour
Miles: 4 Round trip
Elevation gain: 1,175 feet

Beautiful day, and nothing to do so Josh and I decided to do a quick jaunt in the woods. My buddy Austin and I did this hike earlier in the summer, unfortunately it was raining. I recommend this hike to anyone who has the slightest interest in hiking. The hike is rather easy, with a few switch backs and a beautiful few up top. You also may run into some wildlife, we saw a mountain goat and a few deer. Check out the pics!

Rattlesnake Ridge is only a 30 minute or so drive from Puyallup, Wa and is one of the best day hikes around. Up top you virtually have a 360 degree view. Below the ridge is Rattlesnake Lake and a view of I-90 snaking its way through Snoqualmie Pass. To the north you will see more of the Cascade Mountains and Mt. Si. To the west you will see North Bend.

How to get there:
Take I-90 east and get off on Exit 32 (436th Avenue SE) just past the exits to North Bend. Take a right off of the exit, heading south on 436th Ave SE which turns into Cedar Falls Road. Travel about three miles and follow the signs posted for Rattlesnake Lake.
