The Pacific Northwest is filled with outdoor recreation opportunities.
We aspire to introduce you to some of the most loved passageways in Western Washington. Through East-to-West corridors along the Cascades. National Parks Mount Rainier The North Cascades The Olympics Urban Corridors and Seaside. The Trails Await.
Olympic Peninsula Trails
Pacific Ocean beaches, dense rain forests leading up to glaciated peaks make the Olympics a heavenly place for extended exploration.
Rainier National Park Trails
The most iconic mountain in the Pacific Northwest. Mount Rainier, Tahoma, the state’s largest volcano was established as a National Park in 1899. Routes range from peaceful short old-growth waterfall strewn hikes to technical rock and ice routes to the summit of the peak.
Salish Seaside Trails
Salish Sea coastline and the islands are wonderful in springtime. With higher elevations still shrouded in snow the low land coastal and seaside hikes are a great warm up for a summer on the trials. Having more of the trails to yourself is another benefit of hiking the seaside in the spring. Not to mention shorter ferry wait times than in mid-summer. So what are you waiting for? If the clouds part it is sure to be spectacular, if not the islands offer an unmatched peacefulness even in blustery weather. The trails await.
Snoqualmie Pass I90 Trails Corridor
With its proximity to Seattle, and Bellevue and quality trails, the I90 corridor has some of the most popular trails in Western Washington. Great summer hiking, peak bagging and nordic trails in the winter time will keep urbanites coming back. The trails await.
Mountain Loop Highway 530 Trails Corridor
Extending from Darrington to Granite Falls the seasonally opened (highway 530) loops over Barlow pass allowing excellent access to a plethora of trails to mountain lakes and peaks.
Here is the progression of our favorite trail accessible peaks along the the Mountain Loop Highway starting from Granite Falls in the Southwest working east and north to Darrington.
Stevens Pass HW2 Trails Corridor
Home to the Alpine Skiing destination with the same name, Stevens Pass and the Highway 2 corridor accesses many trail systems including the Pacific Crest Trail.
North Cascades
The beauty and ruggedness of Washington’s North Cascades rival that of the European Alps. Craggy peaks, pristine alpine lakes, very few roads and visitors make this one of the most serenely beautiful and least visited of all North American National Parks.
