We’ve been pretty lucky with weekend weather this fall. Here are a five of my favorites so far this season:
There are multiple trails around Paradise Visitor Center at Mount Rainier National Park. Be prepared for drastic weather changes. Click here to find out more on my new blog.
Mima Mounds, just south of Olympia, has a flat trail that winds through these mounds for a couple miles. This area has boggled the minds of many scientists as to how the perfectly shaped mounds were formed. Could it have been elephant sized gophers or glacial carvings from the ice age? Take a visit and let me know what you think.
The fall leaves were spectacular on Mount Washington. This hike is about 8 miles to the top and less crowded than most trails in the Snoqualmie Valley.
Rattlesnake Mountain is very popular, but well worth it for the views. You can learn more about it here on my new blog.
Mount Pilchuk covers up with snow fast. We were fortunate to have gorgeous weather the whole day.
