Anyone in the city hike the PNW? I plan around waterfall destinations.. Ive been a few places up in WA (south puget sound and out area) Now that im back in Oregon, Ive been hitting the Gorge again... Id love to see what hikes anyone else is doing!! from the gorge today, caught a rainbow
That's sweet man I am playing to do some hiking up here in the NW this spring/summer/fall and some high lake fishing. We are doing the 93 mile hike around Mt Rainier at some point during the summer and some hiking around Banks Lake. My best friend just got back from hiking the yakima rim for like the tenth time in his life and he likes that trail a lot.
I love hiking! I'm currently in CT : \ But I'll be moving to Seattle on May 11th Im so excited, I love Washington!
I was up in WA doing a few trips to waterfalls, never got to Mt Ranier (yet!) But there are some great hikes to falls that I hit in Eatonville LITTLE MASHEL FALLS, Pierce County, WA | Northwest Waterfall Survey and you can get to Tom Tom Falls, and Lower Little Mashal in the same day. After that we went to check out Alder Dam. Beautiful views of Nisqually River. Been to Victor Falls too, VICTOR FALLS, Pierce County, WA | Northwest Waterfall Survey though there is no hiking to this one, its right off the road in Sumner. There is a killer steep drop on the other side of the face of the falls, cable running down to the bottom, if you choose to head down that way. The site I posted is a great site for reference for hike to falls trips.
uuuhh ya. I prefer to go east of the mountains to the high desert but that takes gas. here's some places I've gone hiking/backpacking in the pnw: serene lake/rock lakes basin shining lake tanner creek mirror lake burnt lake salmon huckleberry wilderness(all the fuck over the whole thing. shining lake is now part of it) badger creek wilderness marion lake the high lakes around waldo lake this year I hope to go up past burnt lake to cast lake. more salmon huckleberry wilderness, and do the middle santiam...aaaanddd can't remembe right now. oh ya. mt jefferson alpine lakes and three sisters wilderness. I feel as though I said too much. well, hardly anyone reads these anyway.
Yea I know its the best, thats probably one of the only 2 reasons i like washington, (2nd reason is for our dank buds) I went to snoqualmie falls the other day and loaded the bong with some falls water. it was nice
me and a friend are planning to float the green river starting near flaming geyser state park and ending in auburn, should be awesome
hiked 7 lakes basin, mt adams, mt rainer, pacific coast wilderness, north cascades ntl park, alpine lakes, ross lake, mt townsend, three sisters, sherman pass, pacific crest trail, and more. PM me if u want any specific info.
