Youth activity: Mountaineers Adventure Club
Seattle MAC Conditioning Hike - Mount Townsend
Mt. Townsend offers old growth, some tucked away waterfalls, and a windswept, alpine turtleback summit with views north across the Strait and San Juans, west and south into and along the Olympics and east across the Sound to the Cascades, with wild Rhododendrons in June. It's the perfect year-round hike!
