Eastern Washington -- Potholes Region
|
A remarkable high point, showcasing the beauty of the Columbia River and the impact of the Potholes Reservoir on the surrounding agricultural land.

South Cascades -- Mt. St. Helens
Hummocks (#229)
|
The Hummocks are massive mounds of rock, ash, and mud that were piled unceremoniously around the floor of the new Coldwater Lake valley by the mighty blow. But these aren't just piles of rubble. Some of the hummocks tower 500 feet into the air and cover a once-grand ancient forest.

South Cascades -- White Pass / Cowlitz River Valley
Bear Creek Mountain (#1130)
|
After the first mile, you'll climb relentlessly, for much of the way in dense forests with few or no views. But the payoff for this thigh-burning, lung-tearing workout: incredible vistas from atop one of the highest peaks on the easternmost flank of the Goat Rocks.

Eastern Washington -- Inland NW
|
Steamboat Rock is a massive "island" of a rock mountain floating on the shore of Banks Lake. The durable rock was left behind through all of the Great Missoula Floods and was later nearly surrounded by the waters diverted by the Grand Coulee Dam. The top of the rock is a broad, flat plateau offering stunning views across the scablands of coulee country.

South Cascades -- Columbia Gorge
|
This is a steep, rocky trail leading up past a pair of pretty waterfalls, to a high peak on the western end of the Columbia River Gorge. The views are unmatched: Mount Hood is so close it could almost be touched.

Eastern Washington -- Palouse
Oregon Butte (#3134)
|
The views from the trailhead are great, and just get better for the next 1.5 miles as hikers approach the Oregon Butte Lookout as the full expanse of the Wenaha-Tucannon Wilderness unfolds before them in a 360 degree radius.

South Cascades -- Goat Rocks
|
A fairly short hike from the Walupt Lake Campground, through a mountainside of huckleberries, to Nannie Ridge. From the Ridge is an easy way-trail through forested parkland to the top of Nannie Peak, where a lookout once stood. From the peak, views of Mount Adams are impeccable.

A quiet riverside place for a picnic beneath tall Douglas fir trees next to Rainbow Bridge in the picturesque town of La Conner. WTA is improving a couple of sections of trail to a view site, looking over the town.

Circle Peak (#634)
|
A lovely-but-rough hike that uses established trail and old logging roads, the Circle Peak Trail has seen a lot of maintenance from the Darrington Ranger District in the past several summers. Please note that the trailhead is currently inaccessible due to washouts on the White Chuck Road.
