Title: What is your favorite 1 or 2 night hike in WA?
Post by: Uplandbum on July 22, 2013, 06:14:22 PM: Planning on a 2 night hike somewhere in Washington over Labor Day weekend. Although I am from Seattle, I have spent most of my time outdoors on the east side of the State. I am looking for recommendations and reasons (pros or cons) for any 1 or 2 night hikes in Washington but am leaning towards something in the Olympics or elsewhere near the coast. There will be two people and a dog on the hike. We will be packing a tent as well. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

Yep, Asgard Pass, up in the Enchantments. Surreal terrain. Only problem is you have to apply for a permit back in January...
