Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge

Arrived at Nisqually Wildlife Refuge around 1:30 this afternoon, parking was already limited, but I was able to find a space. Even with the buildings closed, I did walk up onto the deck to get a nice ...

Hummocks Trail, Boundary West

Pulled into the Hummocks/Boundary Trailhead just after 8:00am and was the only car in the lot. No restroom, but the trailhead is clearly signed with a great map of the area. Snap a photo with your ...

Langus Riverfront Park

This was the perfect walk on a rare, clear November day. We parked at Langus Waterfront Park arriving around 11 am. There were still a few available parking spots. The restroom at the park was ...

Bear Canyon, Oak Creek Road - Bethel Ridge

Ethan & I took a walk up the Oak Creek Road today. We started at Hwy 12 and walked up to Pine Tree Canyon and found a place in the sun for lunch. At the highway there was a dusting of snow from the ...

Tumwater Pipeline Trail

the short road to the parking lot has big, wet, wide potholes (also easy to park on the road & walk an extra 100yards to avoid this). the bridge (pipeline) is filled with 4-6 inches of water (with ...

IP Road (former Yale Reservoir Logging Road)

We had this former log haul road all to ourselves for hiking and birding on a chilly but colorful autumn day. PacifiCorps had plans to develop a trailhead with parking, restrooms, picnic tables, ...

Noble Knob

For some reason a lot of people seem to have a difficult time getting to this trailhead. If you put it into your gps, 2 locations show up, at least on mine as long as I have service. One way leads ...

Sharpe Park - Montgomery - Duban Headlands

The wind was up today and Porpoise Point seemed like a good place to experience it. I was there at high tide and I think that, and the north wind combined for less of a surf effect of water crashing ...

Melakwa Lake

Hiked from the Franklin Falls paved parking lot to Melakwa Lake. Arrived at the lot about 9:00 am on a Monday. Maybe a dozen cars in the rather large lot. Several other cars parked out on the side of ...

Marmot Pass

Hiked on Friday, Oct 30. We arrived at the trailhead just before 11am and it was empty, but another car (solo hiker) arrived while we were gathering our gear. We encountered 5 other hikers + 2 dogs ...

High Rock

Beautiful day for High Rock! Views all the way down to Mt. Hood. The road up to the TH honestly was not as bad as I'd heard. Most of it is smooth and solid with a few pretty easily avoidable ...

Hall of Mosses

Headed over to the peninsula for a day trip and first stop was the Hall of Mosses trail and visitor center. Parking wasn't too difficult to find but the lots were almost all the way full when we ...

Oxbow Loop Trail

I did this hike on a Sunday afternoon. There were only 4-5 groups other than us, and all masked. This was an easy walk around the lake with my 5 year old daughter and recommended for anyone looking ...

Clara and Marion Lakes

It was a beautiful day for a hike! Loved the drive into Wenatchee from our home in Snoqualmie. We drove right through autumn and into winter! Our goal today was snow and larch trees. Roads ...

Packwood Lake

We hiked this on Friday, October 23rd so snow conditions may have changed since then! It was a very cold day, but that only meant we got to have the trail to ourselves this day! There was a light ...

Lena Lake

Pleasant and easy hike, hiked with 3 children who had no issues with trail/grade and a shocking lack of complaining. Gentle grade the entire trail with one easy to navigate blowdown. Minor rocks but ...

Icicle Gorge Nature Loop

Today we drove from Big Pines CG to the Icicle River Road to view the fall colors. The cottonwoods along the Blewett Pass HWY were dressed in their prime fall colors, but the larch were mostly lime ...

Mount Townsend

Still snow free at the summit! Arrived mid-morning and still had room to park. No trouble getting to the trailhead in my small compact car. Clouds were swirling in from the North, but the views were ...

Rattlesnake Dance Ridge Trail

Ethan & I climbed up Rattlesnake Dance Ridge today. This is a very steep trail much of the way, but slow & steady with lots of rest stops got us to the top in 1.5 hours. It was partly cloudy with a ...

Gold Creek - Alaska Lake

I give this trail 5 stars for a rainy day! The first couple of miles are nothing to write home about, but after that it's a fantastic trail. Shout out to the WTA crew(s) that have clearly done ...

Crow Hill

With the literal “Larch Madness” that is currently going on with the more well-known Larch hikes, we decided to try and find something a little less traveled. I was a little apprehensive to give Crow ...

High Rock

Hiked up to High Rock to catch the sunset. I was not disappointed. Mount Rainier was covered in clouds, but the skies to the west were amazing.

Little Giant Pass

Taking a line from the Mountaineers Book, "From beginning to end, there is nothing easy about this hike." Truth! Getting There: Drive the Chiwawa River Rd for about 19.25 miles. The road is paved ...

Sheep Lake to Sourdough Gap

Ethan & I hiked out to Sheep Lake on this sunny, warm day, then on up to Sourdough Gap and the Crystal Lake overlook where we had lunch. We soaked up the views for 45 min or so and then headed ...

Eagle Lakes

A beautiful hike to do in the Fall! This is a long but gradual incline to a beautiful spot. The road to the trailhead was not ideal but doable for any small SUV. It was warm and sunny on most of the ...

West Hylebos Wetlands

Beautiful place to explore with my little one. Not far from the parking area you quickly get lost in dense, green trees and the sounds of frogs. Great interpretive signage about the wetlands and ...

Easy Pass

I like to hike this one in the Fall. Today was a great day to enjoy it. The trail starts out in the forest. With all the rain we had last week the woods are green, lush and wet. The duff is ...

Hope and Mig Lakes

I needed a mellow hike for my last hikeathon hurrah. My legs and body were too tired for any bada**ery, I just wanted to pick berries. We came in from Tunnel Creek. The road going in is pretty good ...

North Creek Park Boardwalk

Great evening for a stroll along the North Creek Park Boardwalk. Boardwalk is wobbly and uneven in a couple places, but easy enough to navigate. Birds chirping, saw five garter snakes along the path. ...

Ptarmigan Ridge

Went backpacking (one-nighter) on a Sunday/Monday with a friend. Parking: Artist Point is open, parking lot at 8:30am on Sunday was about half full. Signage says a NW Forest Pass is required, and ...
