After about 18 miles you reach the 2-mile-long Snoqualmie Pass tunnel. Bring flashlights and bike lights if you intend to travel into the tunnel. The tunnel trail section continues east to Hyak and then ends in 80 miles at the Columbia River. Check with Washington State Parks for current conditions. This scenic King County regional trail and former railroad grade traverses from Rattlesnake Lake north through the cities of North Bend, Snoqualmie, Carnation and Duvall.

For current conditions contact King County Parks. The nearby Cedar River Watershed Education Center located on Rattlesnake Lake's south shore offers visitors a chance to experience the watershed through exhibits, information, watershed tours, field trips and special events focused on Seattle's drinking water, history, wildlife and more.

Parking after 10am is almost impossible so get there early. From the parking lot, walk a short distance around the north end of Rattlesnake Lake to the trailhead on the northwest side of the lake. There you will find porta-potties and a very informative kiosk with maps, trail information and history of the area.

A well signed trailhead is on your right. The Rattlesnake Ledge Trail starts here. On the way up, there will be a few places to look down on Rattlesnake Lake and appreciate your progress. Though the sign does not indicate Rattlesnake Ledge, it is just to the right, about a hundred yards away. It takes about 1 hour to get to the end of the trail. There are actually three ledges, all highly recommended. The middle and upper ledges are not too far from the bottom ledge and are well worth the extra few minutes, especially if the bottom ledge is getting crowded.

The ledge is a very exposed, a large rock that has sheer cliffs, so be careful and approach slowly if you are hiking with kids or dogs. If you wish to extend the hike, go back to the junction where the sign points out the trail to East Peak 2.
