Review:
Gold Creek Pond is a a 2.3-mile paved loop hike around a scenic mountain pond on top of the Snoqualmie Pass. The trail is ADA-accessible and is the perfect hike for families, small kids, parents pushing strollers and for people in wheelchairs. The pond was made in the 1980s from a gravel pit and it has a small flat beach at the south end. The first part of the trail goes through a willow grove and wildflowers along a creek, until it reaches the junction with the Gold Creek trail. Staying on the loop, hikers leave the pavement and get on a well-maintained boardwalk above a marshy area until it crosses the creek at the north end of the pond. The pond is blue, crystal clear and very deep. A paved spur trail leads from the main trail down to the pond. The trail it ends at a picnic ground with numerous picnic tables. There is a beautiful view of the Alpine Lakes Wilderness looking north.
