list of favorite Hikes

[danderson]

  OK, I have been an avid backpacker for many years, and want to start a topic that lists hunters, and fisherman's  favorite hiking trails, were fishing may be good or were theres wildlife, or great  views, my definition of a good hike is one that isn't crowded and theres something to do like fish, hunt , berrypicking, or scouting. Some of my all time favorites are Spectacle  lake ,and  Waptus.

Good topic. I was going to start one on backpacking. Anyways my favorite hike to date is up Mt. Pilchuck. The views on top are amazing. Its a bit crowded on weekends but I like to go up real early to avoid people and its 30 minutes from my house. Also there are opportunities up there for off trail destinations that most don't know about. I'm planing on an overnight up there this year. It's absolutely beautiful up there. Dangerous too at some places which keep the dayhikers away.

I'm headed to the Enchantments this year and have never been so I can't wait.

I asked about a good place to ride my mt. bike in to camp a while ago, and someone suggested the suiattle river. I was just wonderin if anyone has been there before. It sounds like alot of fun, but it would be nice to get some info on the place, and maybe some pics. I would like to hear of any other places that anyone might know of too.

You will love the Enchantments!!!    make sure to summit little Anaperna while you are up there.Did you get the golden tickets???

Thorton Lake!  It is a amazing hike up in the cascades.  Very hard, but worth every minute.

Hester Lake isn't bad, not crowded at all & good fishing, plus Goldmyer Hotspring is close by so sometimes I'll head down the other way for a dip.  Lake Snoqualmie isn't bad either or Granite Lakes.

What is up with the enchantments do you have to have a apply for special permit to hike up there before a certain date or something I have never been up there but wouldn't mind going up

They have a quota system for camping in the enchantment zones from some date in June to some time in October, they draw for I think 75% of the permits. They do have a daily drawing at the Ranger Station in Leavenworth for remaining permits. The drawing was about a month ago so now if you want to camp you have to try your luck in the draw day off. You can day hike all you want by just going to the trailhead though.

bean creek out of teanaway is a great hike

Hit Rainier park - lots of places to see a lot of elk in the summer.  Great hiking.

One of my fav's is Skyline Divide off Mnt. Baker Highway.  Id post a picture but I don't know how to open a new tab on my new Android. Especially in the fall when the colors are at their best.

High Divide, Olympic Mountains. Do it at the end of Aug. You cant count the #get of bear. Dont worry, they are in the berry fields. Best hike of my life.
