Washington Trail Recommendations

Like many day hikers I am always looking for good reliable trail recommendations. 1. Hamilton Mountain Loop Trail – Columbia River Gorge, 7.5 mile loop with easy access and parking. Two beautiful waterfalls and lots of wildflowers. 2. Coyote Wall Loop Trail – Located off highway 14 near White Salmon, 7 mile loop is for experienced hikers but worth the effort. 3. Mailbox Peak – Located near North Bend, tough 4,200ft ascent but you can sign the registry and enjoy sweeping views. 4. Summit Lake Trail – Just north of the Mt. Rainier National Park in the Clearwater Wilderness, 6 mile loop with views of the mountain that are unreal. 5. Wallace Falls Trail – Located near Gold Bar, this 4.6 mile trail leads to an amazing waterfall with the spring melts. I hope you are able to enjoy one or more of these great day trips this spring!!
