Ah...so much time wasted not hiking/camping/backpacking! I figured I should make a list of hikes in WA that seem interesting (not a complete list for sure):

Close-ish to Seattle:

  • Enchantment Lakes near Leavenworth - 18mi, need pass
  • I-90
    • Snow Lake - 6mi, continues to another lake
    • Mason Lake - connects to Bendara Mtn
    • Bendara Mountain - 6.6mi; last 0.5mi=1000ft elevation gain
    • Rachel Lake - 7mi, Rampart Lakes (11mi) even further up
    • Green Mountain - 10mi, "last promontory," rough trail, scramble
  • past I-90: (if raining in seattle)

  • Mount Baker
  • Mount Dickerman - 8.6mi roundtrip, 5.6k' elevation
  • Coleman Pinnacle
  • Ceder Falls up to Abernathy Ridge
