Yes to 1 and 3. The day trip might not afford time for a lot of hiking. There are plenty of places on the way up to pull over and wander around in any event. Will post some pics if I can find them. Taken with poor phone camera though. You have to love the first one though...


There is some snow showing in the meadow. It was late May/early June.


It's a beautiful place. Have fun and be safe.

It's closer than 3 hrs from Seattle, well worth the drive

However, if you have kids I recommend a 1-2 day trip to the San Juan Islands. One of my favorite places to go as a kid. Kayaking, hiking, gorgeous views, ect..
The ferry leaves out of Seattle and is just over an hour long if I remember correctly

And the really dumb question.... Is it even possible to drive up high enough to where an easy hike could be made to where there might be some snow/ice on the ground for the kids to see?

Ive been up there in late summer and there's still areas with small amounts of ice and snow. It's not pretty ice and snow, but it's there.
