Trip Report
Snow & Gem Lakes (Snoqualmie)
Plenty of people even on a fall Tuesday, but no one was at the Source Lake overlook. Still plenty of fall colors.

Got to the trailhead around 11, with a few dozen cars in the lot. Even though this was a Tuesday in Fall, Snow Lake is still popular! I stopped a lot to take pictures of the many mushrooms in the forest, and a steady stream of people passed me by.
There's a lot of water on the trail in places, though the rocks keep you above the flow. No snow, except on the mountaintops. The fall colors are past peak, but still beautiful. Pikas squeaked all over, and I spotted one.
Over at the Source Lake overlook, I was all alone, and found a huge, flat rock to lounge around on in the sun beside a waterfall. Great lunch spot!
