The Mountain Loop Scenic Highway that connects the towns of Darrington and Granite Falls, and Pilchuck Road in Snohomish County opened for the season on Wednesday.
However, snow still covers the Pilchuck Trail, putting hikers at risk for getting lost, said Peter Forbes, Darrington District Ranger.
The Mountain Loop Scenic Highway provides access to popular trails and campgrounds. It follows the South Fork Stillaguamish River over Barlow Pass and into the South Fork Sauk River drainage.
