Shangri La is appropriately named. This is a gorgeous trail accessible from Harvey Manning (formerly Anti-Aircraft) trailhead on Cougar Mountain. Enjoy wildflowers, as well as the notable "Fantastic Erratic" glacier boulder. On clear days, views of the Olympics and much closer-in Tiger Mountain grace hikers' field of vision.
