Snow Peak

Hiked in via the Snow Peak TH. Bugs were not too bad mostly just flies. Cabin was great. On way in the trail was completely clear of obstacles but overnight a tree fell across the trail but still ...

Columbia National Wildlife Refuge - Rimrock Lake

We arrived at the trailhead around 11:30 AM and found ourselves to be the only car in the small lot. We used the WTA directions to find the trailhead and they worked great. The trailhead is marked by ...

Crater Lakes

The Crater Creek Trail to Crater Lakes in the Chelan Sawtooth Wilderness is a pleasant hike. We went in to climb the south slope of Raven Ridge and then enjoyed exploring the upper basin and scoping ...

Angel Falls Loop

My friend and I wanted a trail that would only take a few hours of our time (with commute) that would provide solitude even on a beautiful Sunday. This trail was perfect, with gorgeous waterfalls, ...

Cowiche Canyon

I took an afternoon walk in Cowiche Canyon from the west end today. I only got as far as bridge #4 because I was waylaid by profuse stands of Showy Penstemon between bridges 2 & 3. I don't think ...

Union Creek

Started out from the trailhead off Hwy 410 around noon, with only one other car in the parking lot. Followed the trail ~2mi in, up to the crossing with the North Fork. The only obstacle up to that ...

Oxbow Lake

Looks like everything is open and good to go. We parked here to go up to the CCC trail, and afterwards enjoyed this lovely trail. There are two parking areas, and the vault toilet is at the second ...

Hanford Reach - North

Went on this hike on a Friday evening and had the trail to myself. Trail was in perfect condition with no obstacles. No wildlife (or snakes seen) but I did see some large grasshoppers (?). It was ...

Frying Pan Loop, Cowlitz Trail, Jug Lake, Twin Sisters Lakes

Summary: Jug and Fryingpan lakes are completely melted out, Twin Sisters lakes are still mostly frozen. Many creek crossings (including a couple of dicey snow bridges), deep lingering snowpack above ...

Observatory Road - Manastash Ridge

I led my 5th Sagebrush Ramble for the Cascadians up the Manastash Observatory Rd on this very warm, sunny day. We drove about 1/2 mile up the road and then started walking. When we got to the top ...

Baldy

The road is in great condition. Almost no snow on the trail except a few small spots up high. No need to bring spikes. Amazing views and no crowds! If you start off the FR Spur 120 trailhead it’s ...

Mount Muller

We got lucky with this one! Found a nice campsite at the horse camp even though it was late Sunday evening. Hiked Monday on the 4th day of a WTA 4-day trail work party. That being said, the trail was ...

Klahhane Ridge

After camping overnight in the Heart O the Hills we were up at first light and drove up the Hurricane Ridge to hike Klahhane Ridge. There is patchy snow out from the parking lot, but nothing hard ...

Columbia Hills State Park - Horsethief Butte

What a sweet little hike and amazing view. Always wanted to stop here and enjoy the history behind this place. Lots of boot paths and so it's sometimes difficult to find main trail. The Columbia ...

Merritt Lake and Lost Lake

We hiked to Merritt Lake for the first time (did not attempt Lost Lake) and it was beautiful! I am assuming the only reason we didn't see more people (only met 2 solo hikers all day) was because of ...

Big Creek

Great day hike, make sure you take the confluence side trails to get some great views of the creeks. Very well maintained trail, signs at every intersection, and lot of great bridges. Its an ...

Columbia Hills State Park - Crawford Oaks

We actually started at the Dalles Mountain Ranch parking lot, but this is probably the trail we were on? We just meandered around for a few miles. It was so beautiful. I want to come back next year!

Siouxon Creek

Overall: Great time of year for this trail system. Driving: Last couple of miles leading up to trailhead just drive slow to avoid potholes. Any normal car or bigger can make it. No snow or ...

Red Top Lookout

I drove up to Red Top Lookout yesterday afternoon to see if the snow was melted yet. The road had a few, small snow patches others had driven through that were easy to get past in an SUV. I saw a ...

Mount Rose

Perfect day to spend outside. Looks like tons of people thought the same, so driving from Seattle took longer than expected. Trailhead parking was completely full when I arrived at 1 pm, and it was a ...

Beaver Lake

We hiked to Beaver Lake from the trailhead at the Whitechuck intersection on the Mtn Loop Hiway. Flat hike to Beaver Lake on old railroad grade. Bridge is out at the Lake. Trail is washed out ...

Boundary West, Hummocks Trail

Consider us suitably awestruck by the views, which were nonstop, and the lovely landscape, now just starting to turn green (with a few low-growing wildflowers already blooming). We saw plenty of ...

Snow Mountain Ranch

This is a great wildflower hike that I discovered thanks to recent trip reports on WTA! Arrived at the trailhead a little past 9am on a Sunday, and only saw four other cars parked. There was a ...

Seaquest State Park - Silver Lake

We were staying just up the road at Silver Lake Resort, and were scoping out the state park and campground for the summer, so we decided to try out the park trails. The campground side of the highway ...

Kopachuck State Park Trail

Reached Kopachuck State Park at 11:30am. There were maybe a dozen cars in the huge parking lot. Carried our boat down to the beach and paddled over to Cutts Island. Our plan to hike to the top of ...

Barnes Creek

Starting at the Storm King Ranger Station, I hiked 7 miles in to Lizard Head Creek, which is 2.25 miles past the junction with the Aurora Ridge Trail, for a total of 14 miles. On a beautiful ...

Chelan Butte

I hiked this trail the same weekend a year ago. Last year it rained on me pretty hard so I was happy to have clear skies today even if it was super windy. One thing I noticed that's changed from last ...

Elk Bench

I was at the Mount St. Helens Science and Learning Center for a NOLS wilderness first aid course. After our training, I explored the area and found this trail. It's a short trail with a moderate ...

Saddle Rock

Steep but relatively short hike to the saddle. Many other trails to explore also. Flowers are in bloom right now and makes for some lovely landscape. The trail is dusty and wide and heavily ...
