Cascade Backcountry Alliance is collecting data at Snoqualmie Pass trailheads to document your experience accessing the backcountry. The insights we gain from this survey will help us improve parking, expand trailhead access, increase safety, and reduce environmental impact at one of our favorite winter zones. Learn more about the survey and how you can participate!

As winter recreation in Washington has increased in popularity over the past ten years, Snoqualmie Pass has experienced growing pressure on its limited winter trailheads. The Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) North Trailhead at Snoqualmie Pass has emerged as a promising candidate for helping alleviate the parking scarcity while requiring minimal new investment.

Many highways and forest roads are currently closed after the damaging floods of December 2025, complicating access for winter recreation.
