If you're anything like me—craving epic peaks and fresh alpine air—you’re going to feel right at home in Washington State. I’ve stood in awe beneath glacier-draped summits and hiked trails that made me feel completely alive. These mountains of Washington State are the real deal. I wish I had time for more, but like you, I’m lucky to squeeze in even one or two before my vacation ends.
Highlights:
- When I needed a challenge, I climbed the snow-capped summit of Mount Rainier—you should try it too, even just partway.
- You’ll wander through wildflower meadows on Mount St. Helens, just like I did, soaking in every color and breeze.
- I trekked past alpine lakes in the North Cascades, and I promise, you’ll want to linger there longer than you planned.
- You can’t help but marvel at the jagged Olympic peaks. I still think about those views.
- I laced up my boots for Mount Baker Wilderness, and if you love rugged beauty, you’ll be right there with me.
