The hike to American falls north of Priest Lake is one of my favorite hikes.  I also like the hike to Hunt Lake and then down into Fault Lake.

By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Blanca Lake is a good one and the climbers route around the western edge to the glacier between Keyes and Columbia Peaks is awesome.

If you go to the Enchantments make sure to hit Druid Fields - pretty cool spot.

  If this winter keeps up we might not get to hike in the wilderness this summer, we have over 20 inches of snow on the ground and winter just started, I am doing a 50 mile hike this summer in August so while things slow down will be getting all the meals packaged up and lighting up on our gear, heres hoping for a good snowpack but just be gone by August .

Hikes that are only private access (ok not really a trail hike, but fun). Untouched hunting and fishing land  :IBCOOL: 8)

  I put hikes into 2 categories, quality meaning was it crowded, during summer months weekends see a lots of use on some trails, weekdays are the best for some trails, catching a few fish sure makes it a good experience and theres nothing like fresh trout when backpacking, Some hiking trails are open to motorcycles in the national forest not badmouthing cycle riders but do your homework and don't make that mistake, I learned that lesson going into Manastash lake one year, now I stay in the wilderness, Last year I spent 4 days at a lake 11 miles in, never saw a sole other than our bunch the whole time, caught fish and ate like kings on the open fire, that's quality and a place were a person can unwind and recharge. Timing is everything also when doing an extended hike over 4 or 5 days weather plays a big part, sometimes it turns into a survival situation, one year I did the Lake Ozette hike at the ocean, 4 days of steady rain and sea mist, 12 miles of slippery kelp covered rocks and smelling like a septic tank, was wet the whole time, spent a lot of time trying to get a fire going and drying socks. Folks that spend alot of time hiking outdoors usually have one or two favorites, and they dont always want to share there locations, its because there not crowded, or there just a short hike in an area not well known, I know I have mine, most of em are in the wilderness.

Spider Gap can be great
 Naches Loop for in town visitors without the Mt. Rainier Paradise crowds
West Cady Ridge for berries
Mason Ridge for high likelyhood of goats or bears

when I was a kid we made a annual trip to rattlesnake lake and did the hike to the top of the ridge.  Back then it was a great view, I have not been there in 20 years, I assume its changed since then.
