From the Heather Meadows Visitor Center we descended to the outlet of Bagley Lake and then climbed the switchbacks to Herman's Saddle. This site is a great viewpoint to the east to Bagley Lake and across to Mt Shuksan an...
Well worth the climb to the top. Amazing views, switch backs & a small creek. Long steady uphill climb, steep in places towards the trails end. Views at the point are spectacular.
This is a pleasant, popular hike on a good trail. I had planned on continuing past Lena Lake on The Brothers Trail into Valley of the Silent Men, but I was unable to cross the inlet creek above the lake. There's no footb...

This is a really pretty forest hike up a river valley with modest elevation gain. It's all in the trees, with the exception of a couple of lovely meadows, and the trees are big. Much of it is close to the river. I'd been...
Mt Townsend has a wide open summit with spectacular views of the Olympic mountains, Strait of Juan de Fuca, Vancouver Island, Puget Sound, etc. It's a very popular like from trailheads on the east side, but few people cl...
Our favourite hike in the North Cascades is the Maple Pass Loop from Rainy Pass. The ascent is the ridge between Rainy Lake and Lake Ann to Maple Pass on the shoulder of Frisco Mtn. The trail continues along a ridge abov...
Elk Ridge Olympic NP is a great hike. We went up along the top of the ridge past the summit of Elk Mountain. We turned back before the descent to Maiden Mt due to clouds and returned on the normal trail. Views to the sou...
Went a bit off course on my route down, was following a sandy trail down a different couloir that was taking me away from my ascent route and would give me a longer hike. I managed to traverse across some steep terrain t...
Nearly made it right to the top of the Haystack but it was miserable up there with water running down the rocks. Otherwise it's a great hike up. I went in May and there was still snow up there so take some warm gear and ...
This is a popular hike, with good reason. It starts in beautiful old forest, skirting the babbling headwaters of the Big Quilcene River, and climbs 3500 feet to Marmot Pass, with increasingly spectacular views along the ...
Marymoor Park Trail is a 6.4 mile moderately trafficked loop trail located near Redmond, Washington that features a lake and is good for all skill levels. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible y...
This makes for a long day (9hr 38min) but it's one of the best hikes off of Snoqualmie Pass. The views in all directions are magnificent. If you go in Sept you will meet lots of PCT through hikers on their way to Canada....
A hike on the PCT to a viewpoint overlooking the columbia gorge. The hike through the woods is nice and crosses a few small lakes. The overlook itself is almost block by trees, and the view we were able to see is mainly ...
Alki Trail and Alki Beach Park is a 3 mile long ocean front promenade that runs from Alki Point to Duwamish Head on Elliott Bay. It's a great spot for a walk or bike ride any time of year, and in the summer draws joggers...
There are many scenic hikes on Mt Baker. One of the best is the Heliotrope Trail. This offers easy access, an 8 mile drive on Forest Road 39, mostly paved to the parking lot at the trail head. The trail is varied, an eas...
This is a moderate hike if done at the right time of the year but can be very difficult if done early or late since it requires crossing the Sarvant Glacier and crossing talus fields. Too early and the cornice onto the g...
This is a complete track for hiking up to the 3d Burrough starting from Sunrise. It was done on July 7th. Started on Sourdough Ridge trail. Few patches of snow still blocked the Borrough trail, which at some points is ve...
Trail runs high above & along the river. You have to cross many rock slides that can be a little tricky walking across, everything was doable. However where the river converge the bridge was washed out so we didn't cross...
Quite long, but very nice intermidiate day hike. Less crowded than Sunrise or Paradise, and views are magnificent, especially in good weather. We satyed at white river campsite to start early. From wonderland's highest p...
This loop with out & back extensions took me from the Sunrise Visitor Center to the Glacier Overlook, First and Second Burroughs, before heading back with a stop at the Mt. Fremont Lookout on the return.
We couldn't see the condition of the glaciers on our way up in the dark, but we got a hint of it from the number of ladders that RMI had installed – about 7 of them – in places where it was impractical to do an end run a...
An easy hike that begins near the parking spaces to allow you see some of the most beautiful forest in the country. You'll have views of inspiring rapids, cross creeks, and catch a bit of sun breaking through the massive...
Steep hike on the front end. Grade eases on the second half. Worth the effort when you reach the lake. Also huge talus slopes on the back side. Several good campsites near the lake.
