Hansen Creek was a fun little trail to drive up and back. Saw some light snow at upper elevations. Great views. Definitely level one and the Taco had fun stretching its legs. The "power line" service road/trail (not part of Hansen Creek trail, but down by Tinkham road) was fun and more challenging for sure...

Its easy trail even subaru forester made it. We took a detour on the service road on the right side leading to Hansen Creek trail for lunch.

Really fun beginners trail! About 5 miles up the mountain I ran into some snow. It was about half a foot deep so ended up reversing back down the hill, since I was on my own and didnt want to push my luck!

Nice mellow road that could be done in almost any vehicle. You get some great views as you wind your way to the top and there are couple good hiking trails beyond the gate. Low clearance vehicles will have to beware of the many pot holes, but other than that, it is very well maintained road. Being so close to I-90, it can get quite crowded on the weekends, so leave early.

Some snow right before you reach the end parking lot. I was unable to get through after multiple attempts so I decided not to risk it and head back. There is a ledge with a beautiful view right before the snow. Cool trail for beginners like me that's close to the city

This was one of the first trails we visited when we moved to Washington. Nice drive and saw some cool things along the way. Was told that some people dig for crystals in and around the area, so thought that was pretty neat. Like the picture shows, we turned down the road with the power lines. Not sure if we were supposed to be down that way as we were turned away by a company cutting down some trees. Was super bummed since it looked like a fun little trail.

The highlights photo is misleading. If you are on that road you are going the wrong way. You should take dirt road to the left of the fork and not along the power line. We took that trail on the right and thought it probably the beginning before the regular dirt road and thought the road to the left of the fork was the loop back road. 1/4 mile later we realized we shouldn't be on that road. We have Pathfinder and quickly realized our car is no match for this rocky trail road. :) The dirt road was easy just about any car can access it. There are camp sites along the side of the road. It was a little misty today so the view was OK. We definitely will come back on a nicer day. At the end of the road there's a parking lot for Hansen Trail loop trailhead.

Fun trip up with beautiful scenery. The very top had just a little snow, but all clear below that.. Nice, easy trail and great photo opportunities in spots. UPDATE: on June 1st I went back up and all snow is gone. Road is closed at the top but a parking lot area to stop and look around.

Attempted the trail after a day of skiing the slopes at Summit at Snoqualamie. Unfortunately we did not get far at all. Snow level is very low so not sure why exactly it was closed. Maybe fallen trees.

What a terrific trail for the off road first timer! I have taken my Subaru up Moscow Mountain but it's low clearance made me turn around in a 6 point k-turn and go back. Not with my Colorado! I drove up this more difficult road quite easily all the way to the end, only fearing the trip back down would overheat my brakes, but I put it in 4lo and in 2nd gear and actually had to accelerate down most of the way! Like I said, a first timer;) The views were gorgeous and it was difficult to believe that I was only 40min from home! This road was hardly a test of my truck's capabilities, but it was excellent for me to test them out. Go early. The traffic didn't start until I was on my way down. I arrived at 9:30a.m.

I first stumbled upon this trail December 2016 on my way home from a hunting photography trip in Quincy, WA; before I knew anything about "overlanding" or Trailsoffroad. I'd consider this the start of my fascination with the adventure sport of off-roading. That December, there was quite a bit of snow, and I had just pulled off the highway to take some cool photos of my rig with the tall snow cover trees. I noticed there were a good number of people going up the hill to cut down Christmas trees, so I followed them up and had an amazing experience driving the road. I hadn't been back since then, so I decided to take a trip up this October to capture some of the fall foliage, It did not disappoint. Washington trails are so great because you can go every season and everything looks different. It was great to revisit what could be called "the trail that started it all."

This is the first time I’ve gone on any trails solo. I recently bought a 2004 Landcruiser and replaced the worn stock suspension to a new OME Heavy Suspention Kit. Went for a drive as far up as I could go. Everything was clear and easy. Some small potholes, nothing crazy. Almost any stock vehicle would be fine. A great trail for anyone’s first time going up a forest road. I’m still learning a lot, but so far it’s been simple to understand. I love what this platform/group has to offer as far as a go to source of information. And will be using it often. Can’t wait to explore more.
