Although the hike is short and steep, the views on a clear day of the prominent Mt Constance and surrounding Olympic peaks are hard to beat. The views of Mt Rainier and Puget Sound are also outstanding!

Although this one is a haul, it's definitely worth the extra effort for a little solitude and better views than nearby Mt Si. Some of the best views are to be had from the summit of Mt Teneriffe, with peaks such as Mt Rainier, Glacier Peak, and even Mt Baker visible on a clear day. And don't forget to stop at either North Bend Bar & Grill or Scott's Dairy Freeze for some great post hike eats.

This is without a doubt one of the most scenic landscapes in Washington, and even better so when it's covered in snow. You will most certainly have some company, but head up around sunrise or sunset to enjoy a little peace and quiet and soak in all the views. With unobstructed views and wide open areas, snow camping is also a great option for those who want to experience both sunrise and sunset.

Although it's anything but easy, this one is definitely worth the effort. I've been on a few different fall hikes now in Washington, and this one is certainly up there as one of my favorites. With just about everything from a forest of larch trees, towering peaks, and one of the most gorgeous valleys I've ever seen, this one is a must and definitely worth seeing for yourself.

Combine this trip with a hike or drive up to Mt Constitution, and kayaking trip to Point Doughty, for incredible views of surrounding islands and peaks. Camp at Cascade Lake in Moran State Park for a true outdoor weekend getaway.

This hike is a personal favorite of mine, whether it be during the summer or the winter. Some of the best views of the major Washington volcanoes can be seen from the top, with minimal hiking distance compared to other nearby hikes with similar views.
