Ape Canyon

Did some easy day hikes in St Helens (Ape Caves, Lava Canyon), then hiked in ~6 miles, just past Pumice Butte. Trail is in excellent condition, except for the swarms of biting flies that accosted us ...

Manastash Lake

My wife and I hiked up to Manastash Lake with our 9 year old and our 15 year old and stayed the night. The mosquitoes were aggressive around Lost Lake but less so at Manastash Lake. It is best to ...

Surprise Lake, Meade Glacier

The lollipop loop to Surprise Lake kicks-off at Conrad Meadows, which is typically teeming with horses and their bipedal companions this time of year. That is not the case at the moment, as the road ...

Fremont Lookout

Hiked out to the lookout for Sunset photos. Trail is in great shape and about 99% snow free. This is a great hike with spectacular views along the way and at the lookout. We had a nice ...

Twisp Pass

Fun day! I've included 4min of video highlights below.. Road: not really 'rough', but once you leave the pavement, at about 1.5 mile is a small washout, doable in any car if you go slow. ...

Lookout Mountain Lookout - Methow

We hiked this trail with our four kids. The oldest is 11 and the youngest is 6. It was a great trail for kids. They were able to hike it on their own without any issues. The road leading up to the ...

Mount Erie

In recent weeks we had been to other high points, and a few lakes, in the Anacortes Community Forest Lands (ACFL.) Today, my hiking buddy Marin and I elected to head back to Mt. Erie. We consulted ...

Harry's Ridge

Had an excellent hike here yesterday, actually did this one twice. I got there early and the mountain was shrouded in clouds, I waited a bit at the top but the clouds weren't moving. I then hiked ...

Silver Star Mountain

June 17, 2018 - Just got back. We hiked from the 4109 Road trailhead. The trail is in great shape and the flowers are awesome. This is a moderate climb with a couple of shorter and steeper sections. ...

Squire Creek

I have had this hike on my list since 2016 when we were up power brushing the beginning of the trail for a PCTA trail work party. Having not hiked the trail before, I wanted to return to see how far ...

Main Fork Dosewallips River, Dosewallips River Road

Enjoyed a nice leg stretching trail run up the Dosewallips river today. The road after the washout is in fine shape. A few minor water crossings and rocky sections, nothing you need to prepare for. ...

Lake Constance

Summary: This hike is no joke. Period. To get to the trail, you'll need to park and then bike/walk roughly 5 miles before getting to the trailhead. I chose to ride my bike and lock it up at ...

Waptus River

We set out from the trailhead yesterday morning around 11am with every intention of backpacking to Spade Lake for the night. Once we got to Waptus Lake, however, we sat down in the sun to take a ...

Huntoon Point

The forecast was clouds and sun, which I thought would be a good theme for photos. I started up the road to Artist Point at 4:30AM and arrived at Huntoon Point by 6AM. The road is cleared all the ...

Thunder Knob

Did this pretty easy hike in the evening while camping at Colonial Creek Campground. Trail was in good condition; some nice views from the top.

Wiley Slough - Fir Island

I left the rain in Seattle and drove through more rain while heading to Skagit Valley. Once at the slough, the sun was out. It was warm and dry. Spring has landed at Wiley Slough. The grasses are ...

Swan Creek Park

At the trail entrance there were lots people there but once inside the trail very beautiful and quiet. Such a lovely hike.

Boundary Trail, Truman Trail-Pumice Plains

The flowers have started to peak on the Truman Trail and are a week or so away on the Boundary Trail. About 1/4 of them are blooming on the Boundary trail and there is plenty of red and purple P&P ...

Round Mountain

Summer is coming to White Pass! Although winter is trying to hold on. There is still quite a bit of snow on this trail, starting about 5400ft. It's not hard to cross, but trekking poles are helpful ...

Sol Duc Falls

Hiked to Sol Duc Falls, trail is in fine shape only thing to note is the bridge over Sol Duc Falls is very slippery.

Washington Park

Came here on the recommendation of my AirBnB host. Glad I did! Great place to see some wildlife (including porpoises) and watch the sunset. Also a good place to do some trail running if you're in to ...

Tumwater Pipeline Trail

I've stopped here before, but just to take pictures of the bridge. The parking lot (lower portion) is one severe pothole after another, so be careful. Didn't seem that bad 2 years ago but maybe I'm ...

Conboy Lake National Wildlife Refuge

We stopped at Conboy Lake expecting it to be a short visit on the way to heading back up to Seattle, but found much more than we thought! The website and refuge pamphlets all list the trail as 2 ...

Getting the the trailhead was not difficult at all. Roads are all clearly marked and in great condition. There was only 1 minor washout about 1/4 mile from the trailhead, but plenty of low clearance ...

Emmons Moraine

We did the Emmons Moraine Trail via Glacier Basin trail. The trail was overall in excellent condition, and very walkable even for our 3 1/2 year old for much of the trail. There were a few spots of ...

Longs Pass

Decided to trek Longs today in spite of the previous trip reports. Trail is clear until the last mile, when it quickly turns from an easy walk to a bit of an adventure. Gaiters and a GPS are highly ...

Angel Falls Loop

There is an amazing variety of things to see in such a short loop, and the trails are in good condition. There are currently 2 bridges out, but these crossings are fairly easy, just make sure your ...

Old Wagon Road Trail

I enjoyed this hike, I took this trail by mistake but found the views more than paid off for my mistake. The mosquitoes were terrible, they swarmed all around me all the way to the top, I could ...
