The Mt Catherine Loop is a popular tour using The Summit at Snoqualmie Nordic Trail System. This loop climbs steadily on the Cold Creek Trail to a pass on the back side of Mt Catherine, where a large clear cut gives good views of the central Cascades. To loop back to the parking area, follows Ripsaw, Outer Sunrise Loop, and Creek Run. There are many possible variations on the loop - be sure to get a map from the base lodge. Please stay off the alpine trails. You must purchase a ticket to use the trails, but the ticket covers 2 rides up the alpine lifts, should you choose to use them.
