Fall Leaves and Fresh Air

Updated: Nov 17, 2020

There's no better way to enjoy the Autumn season than by stretching your legs on a Northwest hike! There are so many beautiful hikes in this area where you can enjoy nature's spectacle of multicolored foliage!


Here are a few suggestions:




Skyline Divide


Location: North Cascades - West Slope

Round Trip: 9 miles, Elevation Gain: 2500 ft., Highest Point: 5450 ft

Fall feature: colorful meadows, views. Many hikers don’t go beyond the first viewpoint, but take the time to walk up the ridge for stunning North Cascade views. Better yet, haul up a backpack and take in the fall constellations on a clear (cold) night.

Colchuck Lake
