Featured Trip Reports

Mount Margaret, Norway Pass, Boundary Trail

Make sure to get your permit in advance if you plan to stay overnight. I started at Norway Pass TH on a Saturday morning. The parking lot was not full, but a large group arrived right after me. ...

Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) Section K - Stevens Pass to Rainy Pass

Just completed this section for my summer 2019 PCT WA hike. Stevens Pass to Stehekin, 6 days. Spectacular scenery. This is the perfect time of year to hike the North Cascades -- no bugs and cool ...

Larch Lakes (Entiat), Cow Creek Meadows, Myrtle Lake

We spent two nights backpacking at Larch Lakes and exploring the surrounding trails. Our route was as follows: 1. Hike 4 miles from trailhead to junction with trail 1430 - this section travels ...

Stagman Ridge - The Bumper

Really incredible hike. There are some sediment rich streams/rivera (murky) along much of the trail, so be warned if you plan on filtering water. There’s also some crossings that are strong, explore ...

Mount Shuksan

Mount Shuksan sulphide glacier route as one day climb. We were group of five climbers, arrived to the trail head about 8pm to find just one other car at the parking. We camped for few hours and ...

Abercrombie Mountain Trail

This is a very popular trail and even includes a large summit register box! This is visited as part of the PNWT so sees visitors from throughout the country. The trail is in excellent shape due to ...

Bench and Snow Lakes

This was a great short hike. Even though the elevation isn't too much, you end up going up and down a bit. It was hot when we hiked here so we took it slow! There were lots of flies along the trail, ...

Van Trump Park

We hiked from Longmire to Van Trump Park. While longer and more elevation gain than hiking from the Comet Falls trailhead the reward is solitude. While on the Van Trump Park trail, we saw 1 person ...

Emmons Moraine

My destination was actually to the lake, not the overlook. The trail was nice and smooth, and obstacle free until you get down to the lake and it was loose, slick, and unstable. Poles were a huge ...

Tatoosh Ridge

When they say this hike starts out steep - take them at their word! Very steep in those first couple of miles up to the meadows - and from there, well, it's still steep! If you're hiking with a dog ...

Klahhane Ridge

Started the hike around 12:15pm Saturday and was lucky enough to snag one of the about 10 spots at the Switchback Trailhead. It took about an hour to reach the second junction (1.5 miles in), where ...

Little Mashel Falls - Bud Blancher Trail

Road/Trailhead: Road and parking lot for the Bud Blancher trail is paved. No parking pass is needed. There is not a toilet at the trailhead, but there is a portable toilet after you start down the ...

White River

Afternoon hike up past White River falls (10/10 gorgeous), lovely hike right by the river; very well maintained trail with several thick patches of brush growing quickly to attempt to hide the trail ...

Bertha May and Granite Lakes

I meant to hit Bertha May and Granite Lakes, but entered the wrong trail head and ended up hitting Pothole and Bertha May instead. The trailhead to Pothole Lake is before the one that the GPS ...

Mount Daniel

A spectacular day hike up to the East Summit. Deets are as follows!: Route: From Trailhead to Peggy’s Pond and then up the South side of ridge to the East Daniel Peak. Time: Started from ...

Monogram Lake, Lookout Mountain Lookout

Short summary: Stayed Friday night at the lookout and Saturday night at the lake. Trail muddy at parts but in good shape. No snow. Few blowdowns but easily passable. Bugs light-medium. One bear ...

Hex Mountain

Challenging but fun hike. Heads up, there are two forks in the road you will come across, make sure to keep right on both. Our party was unaware and took the second left, ended up trekking through ...

Little Giant Pass

Little Giant Pass (7/21/19), day hike. The river crossing immediately at trail head is very low. I'm 5''5' and it only reached my knees. I took some crocs to walk the river without any rock ...

Juniper Ridge

We were the first to the trailhead at 9:15 am, but soon were greeted by two dirt bikes. It wasn’t amazing breathing their exhaust while hiking, but it soon dissipated. We saw maybe 2-3 more ...

Mica Peak

We logged 14.7 miles and 3,005 feet of elevation gain/loss on an out-and-back day hike from the Liberty Lake parking lot (the first one) to the white ball and back. We were on trail at 7:10am in ...

Dishpan Gap, Cady Ridge, Kodak Peak

We arrived at the Little Wenatchee Ford trailhead at around 7am to find only a few cars at the trailhead. The road to get to the trailhead (FS6500) was paved up until the last few miles. Once the ...

Bumping Lake

Great day to hike Bumping Lake trail. Trail head was packed and so it may be a good idea to park down at the marina and then hike the .9 miles to the trailhead. Lots of people out there but it ...

Goat Lake

Road getting there is in pretty good shape. Driving a truck or high clearance vehicle, no problem. Car or lower clearance, still not problem but may have to take it a bit slower. Mosquitoes are ...

Steamboat Rock

I'd say this hike is a great bang for your buck, in terms of effort to view ratio. And it's especially convenient if you're already visiting the nearby campground. Heads up, the loose rocks on the ...

Tiffany Mountain via Freezeout Ridge

Beautiful but cloudy hike out of Winthrop. I’ve been up in the Tiffany Highlands before but just to visit - not to hike. Expansive high altitude meadows full of wildflowers. Took the spur trail to ...

Owyhigh Lakes

What a day! We started our hike at a little after 1:30pm. There was only one other car in the parking area. Shortly after we started, it began to rain, so we pulled out the rain gear. Good thing ...

Union Creek

My work party buddy and I came down here a day early in anticipation of doing some hiking before a work party. The Tipsoo Lake loop was socked in and had too much snow, so we came down here. We wish ...

Icicle Creek, French Creek, Klonaqua Lakes

Icicle Creek Trail is wide, easy to navigate, and is well described in the WTA posting. The access road in was freshly graded as we left on the 26th of June so any potholes should be smoothed out. ...

Tiffany Mountain via Freezeout Ridge

Hiking trail in great condition! So much beauty! Even though clouds in the sky, still a fantastic hike. No bugs. A few flowers. Much solitude. The challenge is getting there. The ruts and bumps in ...

Moose Lake

Dirt road in with lots of oracle but nothing too big and no potholes. A one lane so a little scary when trying to pass an oncoming car. Trail had patches of snow at the beginning but nothing ...
