My family just went on the trial. I am only 12yrs. but I thought it was a great trial! At times it was pretty steep and hard at times , but we finished it at about 3hrs. which was ok for me. It was my first time there. Next we are proble going to go hike mountSi. But we will …
This was the starting hike of Spring 2007 and it did not disappoint me. The hike itself is not very difficult although there are few switchbacks which kind of knock the wind out. But compared to the scenary, it is well worth it. The view is beautiful. Do realize that this is a very popular destination and hence lots of …
My wife and I just did this hike for the first time Easter Sunday 2007. we weren't quite physically ready for an eight mile trip but we didn't let that stop us. our poor old 13 year old dog had a hard time the last 2 miles on the way down. i think her limit is 5 miles or less.
…This really is a great starter hike. I moved here from Colorado last year and now live in Seattle. I hiked alot of 14ners and other random mountains there over the years and this hike reminded me so much of Twin Sisters hike by Estes Park near where I lived. I always hiked it as a starter/get back in hiking …
This is a great hike for early spring - if you don't mind getting your feet wet. The crossings get progressively more challenging (especially for a somewhat wimpy hiker like me.) We did not reach Serene Lake in the end due to a crossing I wasn't up to. However, we saw the falls up close and from another spot on …
This hike is now 5 miles longer, round trip, than it used to be. The road (9030, I believe) leading up to it has been blocked by a rockslide and is closed. (The rockslide itself is quite impressive, extending hundreds of feet and destroying the road in two places.) The hike is still an enjoyable wander in the early season, …
Stopped by here on Sat. (3/10/07), and for those unaware the Mountain Loop Highway is still closed at Bear Creek. Though I found reference that road repairs are supposed to be completed by end of June of 2007...we'll see.
Anyway, plan on 2.5 extra miles to get from the blocked road to the picnic area and trail head. And …
A couple friends of mine wanted to do a one nighter and decided to see the Cutthroat Lakes mid Sept 06. We got to the trailhead early enough to park there but due to the lack of turn around space we parked down the road more. The ground at the trailhead was plenty wet but it made for some beautifyl …
I've been going to the Ohanapecosh campground for just about as long as I can remember camping and It's still one of my favorites. It's set in a Old-growth, possibly second growth, cedar grove. The sites are well spaced and I've yet to find a disappointing one. The best feature is the glacier fed river that cuts right through the …

Go hiking more often is one of my resolution this year. This was my first hike this year (1/6/07) and took 1 hr 10 min to top and another 1 hr to down. No snow in the trail, just wet. I joined this site also and appreciate all information.
I tried to snowshoe this trail between Christmas and new years 2006. I agree with everything that was written in the intro statement. The beginning of the hike is not to exciting. I Hiked for a good hour and fourty five minutes until I reached the slopes that look to have been cleared by past avalanches. This kind of freaked …

My husband I hiked the short trail to Weeping Rock...the view is beautiful and our pictures turned out awesome..strange to think that the water falling might be hundreds of years old..
My girlfriend and I had planned to do this hike on vacation last summer. We wanted to go in July, but because of work conflicts, we ended up going the last week of June ('06). We expected there to be snow around, but by the time we made it to Paradise we realized the trail was still covered in deep …
Hiked in mid November, 2006. The hike is fairly short in the sense that you can look down and clearly see your car when you get to the top, but the elevation gain is significant (the car looks like a small speck). It was nice on a late fall afternoon, no rain but a wet trail. Fairly crowded, but the …
We did the Little Si in late October, 2006. It was a rainy day, so we hiked with ponchos and an umbrella. The fallen leaves were beautiful at this time. The hike traversed a nice variety of scenery. As we hiked, we went through patches of heavy rain, fog, and hail, which made for an interesting day. Nearing the top, …
We made it to the Lower Lena lake in May 2006. The hike was pretty much non-stop switchbacks most of the way. Some light snow cover as we got near the lake. The lake was gorgeous, very deep blue, with a nice vista off the trail. There are a bunch of campsites down near the water, all of which were …
It is soo hard to walk up to the top of it
pilchuck is a great hike . its one of my favs. the lookout has an awesome view . and you can cook your lunch or even crash overnite in it. i like to hike it in the snow!!!
We did this hike with our friends and 5 year old daughter- although a little slower than our usual pace due to all the switchbacks- she made it up just great! There are so many picture opportunities on this hike and the falls are worth the hike- just as you are beginning the entrance to Spray park the wild blueberries …
The walk up to the sumit is rather pleasant with anything strenuous left behind as you walk up to the ridge from the parking lot. I went mid-September and it was a lovely sunny day. The walk along the ridge from the Sunrise parking lot has some great views into the surrounding valleys. Once you reach Dege peak there are …
I just did this hike yesterday in the rain. I was a lot of fun. Didn't see anyone on the trail. The falls are still flowing and the trail is in great shape. Took me 2.5 hours up and 2 hours down. Down side - it was cloudy and there was no view.
Alan Singer and I hiked Mailbox on Thursday October 5, 2006. We set out from the trailhead at 11:15AM. The way up proved to be an upper body workout as well as a quads/buns work-out. It was so steep we found ourselves grabbing slender saplings along the way, literally hauling ourselves up the trail with our arms.
We tackled …
