Featured Trip Reports

Squire Creek Pass via Eight-mile Trail

Road is 2wd accessible, though high clearance recommended not due to potholes but rather a couple repaired sections of road that dip way down. As stated by previous reviews, trail is very steep ...

Heybrook Ridge

This is a nice alternative to Twin Falls or Rattlesnake Ledge. At a tad over 3.5mi round trip, gentle climb and well marked to a lovely viewpoint. Lined with trees this would make a shady hot day ...

Baldy Mountain

Beautiful hike today with no rain and very minimal wind. Trail was in good condition with some scattered wildflowers starting to bloom. Only saw 7-8 other groups on the trail. We went up thru the ...

Umtanum Ridge Crest

I can see why so many people are hiking this trail right now! Beautiful views and pretty uncrowded - on the way back we didn’t see anyone till we were 2/3 down. Wildflowers blooming and arrow leaf ...

Anacortes Community Forest Lands - Big Beaver Pond, Anacortes Community Forest Lands - Little Cranberry Lake

Plenty of parking at the trailhead off "A" Ave at 11am. Hiked a counter-clockwise loop around Big Beaver Pond and Little Beaver Pond. No obstacles on the trails other than a few slightly muddy ...

Greenwater Trail to Lost Lakes

Only hiked the first part of the trail to the lakes, but it was beautiful and if I’d had more time would have kept going. Looking forward to going again in a few weeks. The trail is in good condition ...

Hanford Reach - North

First time hiking this trail and it was a really nice hike. It was windy though (10-20mph, 30mph gusts) which kept my wife and I cool but blasted us when we got to the dunes. The hike itself is ...

Baker Lake - Maple Grove

Perfect hike for an early season leg stretcher! The trail along Baker Lake is completely melted out and easily accessible by any vehicle. We started from the southern trailhead with the goal of ...

Mary E. Theler Wetlands Nature Preserve

Beautiful stroll with the toddler today! Trail is very well maintained and stroller friendly. Would love to come back when full bloom hits and it is summer time.

Baldy Mountain

Spring Break for us teachers - that means getting outdoors! I headed to Baldy in the canyon, since I need to get in shape for hiking season. 20 minute drive from Yakima, I always park on the road, ...

Kanaskat-Palmer State Park

Beautiful day for a hike! We had hoped to hike here a while back, but it was closed due to snow. We could definitely see why today as there were lots of trees and debris still on the trail. Nothing ...

Icicle Ridge

There is a lot more snow on the ground in the Leavenworth area as compared to this time last year, however, this hike, with its switchbacks open to the sun most of the way, was about 90% snow-free. ...

Lower Big Quilcene River

Hiked 5.25 miles in to Camp Jolley with some of the Gray Wolf Trail Crew. The Gray Wolves have done lots of work over the years to keep this trail hikable by all. There were a couple of minor ...

Westberg Trail

Hiked up the Boyscout trail and down the main trail - and I'm sure glad I did it in that order. The Boyscout trail has several sections of ice that were difficult to navigate without microspikes. My ...

East Bank Baker Lake

The reports from a week ago mentioned snow/ice after crossing the dam but that has now all melted or been cleared. You can now drive all the way to the trailhead. We arrived at 10am on a Sunday ...

Mount St. Helens - Worm Flows Route

It was a beautiful day to ski Helens. We were delighted to find that we could ski directly from the parking lot. We started hiking at 6:30a and arrived at the crater at 1:30p so it took longer than ...

Lower Big Quilcene River

Lots of green - ferns, moss, and lichens. From the 2nd bridge there was intermittent snow. It was never deep; we didn't post-hole; we did not use/need the microspikes that we had with us. Parts of ...

White Bluffs - South Slope

I led my first Sagebrush Ramble for the Cascadians today to the White Bluffs South. We started off down Ringold Rd past the beautiful exposures of Ringold Formation in the road cut, but instead of ...

Dosewallips River Road

The road to the trailhead is pretty potholed for the last couple of miles, but any vehicle could handle it. I hiked 4 miles in before turning around. The ground was bare for the first couple of ...

Camano Island State Park

Went for a sunny after-work hike. Shortly after you enter the park there is an intersection where you can either turn right/continue straight (down to the North beach area) or turn left to go further ...

Poo Poo Point - Chirico Trail

Daylight Savings Time sunrise hike with friends! Got to the trail head around 5:45am. As others have said, closer to the top the trail becomes very icy and slippery. Microspikes/Yaktrax highly ...

Wenatchee Guard Station

We spent two nights in glorious conditions high in the Blue Mountains at the Wenatchee Guard Station. The fee program is designed to maintain these historic structures that would otherwise fall into ...

Chelan Butte

I hiked this trail on both Saturday and Sunday. The hike on Saturday was mostly to get a feel of the trail before a sunrise hike on Sunday. The parking lot sits opposite of the trail head. The ...

Saddle Rock

Lots of packed trails at this trailhead. We opted for 4 mile loop taking us up on a ridge next to saddle rock. Beautiful day. Saw a couple runners and a few other groups close to the trailhead. ...

Heybrook Ridge

Beautiful day for this hike with sun and blue skies in view (FINALLY!) The trail is completely covered in compacted snow/ice mix, and the parking lot is also covered under a blanket of snow and the ...

Umtanum Creek Canyon

I led my 5th Winter Walk for the Cascadians to Umtanum Canyon today. We hiked about 2.5 miles up the canyon, then retraced our steps back to the upper crossing of the creek and climbed to our usual ...

Mount Finlayson, Cattle Point Lighthouse

Started out at 10:30am from the "Jakle's Lagoon" trailhead off Cattle Point Rd. Hiked a counter-clockwise loop up over "Mount" Finlayson, along the bluff to the Cattle Point Lighthouse, and back ...

Duckabush River

Fun, sunny hike with some great views! Hiked about 3.6 miles in. Snow didn't get thick until the back side of Big Hump. ROAD CONDITIONS: The drive to the trail head is mostly on paved roads, which ...

Spencer Island

Today was an excellent day to do this nice walk. We started under the freeway at the sewage treatment plant and walked along the cement pathway to the bridge. After crossing the bridge, we decided to ...

Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge

After enjoying Hawks Prairie Ponds on this beautiful day, we drove to Nisqually and walked the Twin Barns Loop with a side trip to the Twin Barns Observation Platform. We saw mallards, northern ...
