Cerro La Paloma is an iconic peak of the Santiago region, one of the only two with Cerro Plomo covered of snow all year long. The normal route begins from Yerba Loca, a private park located at the turn number 15 on the road to Farallones. There is no public transportation to get there. Booking must be made at least a day before arrival. As this route is long and the park is only open from 8h30 and 18h (and there are still 20 minutes’ drive from the gate to the actual route start), you may consider arriving the day before and booking a campsite.

This segment of the Tolt Pipeline trail goes from Woodinville to Snoqualmie Valley. It includes the infamous "Hollywood (Heart Attack)" hill at the beginning of the route. There are several more steep climbs throughout the route. It is great for trail runners in the area who are looking to do some hill training but don't have the time to drive out to the mountains for a steep route.
