Get Outside! Artist Point
The snowshoe route at Artist Point in Washington's North Cascades offers a stunning panorama, including magnificent views of the the glaciated peaks of Mount Baker and Mount Shuksan. Find out more in Craig Romano's latest Get Outside! column.
Get Outside! Index Town Wall
Hike to the top of Washington's Index Town Wall, a moderately difficult trail that takes you to the summit of an imposing granite cliff, with views of the town of Index and peaks of the Wild Sky Wilderness as your reward.
Get Outside! Glacier Basin
The challenging Glacier Basin trail off Washington's Mountain Loop Highway takes you past a mining ghost town and up a steep track to a gorgeous alpine basin. It's a workout, but the payoffs include solitude, old growth forests and a fascinating trip through Cascadia history (including a town where Donald Trump's grandfather was justice of the peace!)
Get Outside! Paradise Glacier Trail
Though the famed ice caves are long gone from the Paradise Glacier Trail at Mount Rainier, you'll still find wildflowers, marmots, and a view of the glaciers on the flanks of Mount Rainier -- all without the crowds near the Paradise visitor center.
