This one of my first and favorite of the Washington hikes. Starting from the Cascade crest and borrowing part of its route from the PCT, this hike is short and sweet. If it's a hot July day, this makes for a pleasant escape from the heat. Be sure to bring a camera because the views are amazing!
Feel free to join my other hikes this week as well.
