Trappers Peak | Washington Hiking
Trappers Peak is located in North Cascades National Park, and is accessed via the Thornton Lakes Trailhead off of Highway 20. The forest service road once you turn off of the highway does have a sign recommending all-wheel drive and high clearance vehicles, which I can attest to. I took my Honda Fit as far as I dared, but ended up cutting my losses and parking 2 miles from the trailhead, which added an additional 4 miles round trip and ~500 feet of elevation gain. The first few miles of the actual trail were pretty easy, and had more moss as ground cover versus plants and ferns which are found in areas more south in the Cascade range. Once you start really climbing, the trail became prett...

Mount McCausland | Washington Hiking
Просмотров 14121 день назад
Section K of the PCT this week (Section J for Kendall Katwalk last week) brought me to a familiar trail but with an extension I had not done before. I completed a hike to Lake Valhalla last year and really enjoyed it as a fall hike. This year was no different; but this time I decided to extend the hike to the nearby peak of Mount McCausland. The summit had excellent views of the surrounding pea...
Kendall Katwalk | Washington Hiking
Просмотров 284Месяц назад
This hike along the Section J portion of the Pacific Crest Trail was is absolutely beautiful. I was a little worried at the beginning since it was pretty soaked in again with clouds and fog, but by the time I got above the tree line everything was starting to clear up. I may have even preferred the weather I did get, with clouds rolling through the valleys and mountains, than perfectly clear. T...
Mount Pilchuck | Washington Hiking
Просмотров 251Месяц назад
Mount Pilchuck, completed August 30, 2024. This was my first time doing Mount Pilchuck after it was closed last year for road work. The forest road is in good enough shape that a Honda Fit can make it just fine. This hike is at the beginning of the Mountain Loop Highway and offers a pretty unique combination of views that include the central Cascades, Northern Cascades, the Puget Sound, and sou...
Surprise and Glacier Lakes | Washington Hiking
Просмотров 49Месяц назад
This was a mixed bag of a hike for me. Cons: the trailhead was pretty weird to get to (really had to rely on Google Maps), most of the hike was essentially in the clouds so views were minimal, there was a tremendous amount of condensation on all the plants and portions of the trail were somewhat overgrown so my legs got soaked, and I got stung/bit by some kind of bug that had stinging lasting f...
Hoh River Trail to Happy Four | Washington Hiking
Просмотров 1022 месяца назад
Had to get in some hiking during a quick weekend camping trip at the Hoh Rainforest campground in Olympic National Park with the Holo Hiker. I have done the entire Hoh River Trail in 2017, well before the birth of the Pale Hiker, and I cannot recommend this trail enough. That being said, the portion I did today was essentially flat and remained within the forest. The color of the Hoh River is a...
McClellan Butte | Washington Hiking
Просмотров 1542 месяца назад
This was my second time reaching the summit of McClellan Butte, and it was definitely harder than I remember. I would say this is the definition of a training hike. It's a decent length, has good elevation gain, but the trail itself doesn't have impress much until the very end. The final scramble is not as hairy as Mount Pugh, but still requires care and consideration to make it to the summit s...
Silver Lake via Monte Cristo and Poodle Dog Pass | Washington Hiking
Просмотров 1,5 тыс.2 месяца назад
Silver Lake via Monte Cristo and Poodle Dog Pass, completed July 19, 2024. Another excellent hike along the Mountain Loop Highway. About half of this hike is along a flat gravel road that used to be used to get to the Monte Cristo mining town, which was a really cool stop that I'm glad I got the chance to visit. Be sure to pause at all the sign segments to read about the history of the town. Th...
Mount Dickerman | Washington Hiking
Просмотров 2833 месяца назад
Mount Dickerman hike, completed July 5, 2024. While the first half of the hike up can be grueling, the rewards are absolutely worth it. This has become one of my favorite trails in Washington, and will surely be an annual summit. Today I saw two toads (names courtesy of the Whale Hiker) and got to deal with trudging over some slushy snow remnants. It was incredibly clear today, and the surround...
Bandera Mountain | Washington Hiking
Просмотров 1133 месяца назад
Joined once again by the Weeb Hiker. About half of this trail is shared with the Ira Spring trail, which can be used to access Mason Lake, Island Lake, and Rainbow Lake. After the turn-off for Bandera Mountain, it is nearly a choose your own adventure style trail. Very slow going, and somewhat scrambly near the end. Most people turn around at Little Bandera. The main draw for this trail is the ...
Bridal Veil Falls and Lake Serene | Washington Hiking
Просмотров 1364 месяца назад
Bridal Veil Falls and Lake Serene Hike, completed June 7, 2024 A pretty decent hike that is fairly accessible, and is snow free early season. The overuse of stairs prevents this trail from being truly spectacular, but the berries, falls, and incredible lake make this worth checking out. www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/lake-serene www.alltrails.com/trail/us/washington/bridal-veil-falls-and-lake-sere...
Margaret's Way to Debbie's View and Bullitt Fireplace | Washington Hiking
Просмотров 745 месяцев назад
Margaret's Way to Debbie's View and Bullitt Fireplace, completed May 10, 2024 Special thanks to the Weeb Hiker for joining me :) This is a decent early season hike, especially when it is clear like today. The trail itself is fairly easy and it is very well maintained, but doesn't have many truly noteworthy features. That being said, it's an easily accessible trail to get out and enjoy neature (...

Mount Dickerman Trail Hike | Washington Hiking
The concrete was the base for a ski lift. The ski area was running in the '60's and into the '70's.
Very cool! Thank you for the insight
Remember your 10 essentials. Beautiful scenery from start to finish love the sound of the streams,
X (formerly twitter) mountain
Sigh…
Stunning views from the top. Cool to see it dusted in snow too.
Fall trails in WA >
Count me as a new sub! The Kendall Katwalk hike looks absolutely stunning with those incredible views of Mt. Rainier. Your detailed account and beautiful footage make this trail even more enticing. Can't wait to see more of your adventures!
the changing of colors to fall signifies the arrival of the wintertime break of Pale Hiker content
Unfortunately. Perhaps one or two hikes left, and then the dark days arrive
Love this hike! :)
These views are more than just spectacular my friend! Simply unmatched beauty!
I first hiked this trail in 1979. I became disabled about 25 years ago, so I haven't been able to do much hiking. Thank you for bringing my memories alive.
Thanks for bringing back the memories of years past. I’ve done Pugh at least 6 times over the last 50 years. The last time I was 60. Even tried it in winter and got to the top of the glacier, it was bigger way back then. Once the road to the trailhead was closed which made it close to a 7000’ gain and added 2 miles each way. The bit of scrambling always made my heart race. Good times.
the views before and after the Talus Field, especially 3:24... maybe I should move to WA.
You know what you have to do… but do you have the strength to do it?
Absolutely beautiful! The landscapes are breathtaking. Excited to see more! 👍6
excellent! we were there the same day, started a bit later than you (10 AM-ish) The weather and views were perfect!
I'll be there tomorrow morning. I heard the road going there is filled with pot holes. Is that the case?
The road wasn’t too bad. Some washboarding in a few places and a pot hole here and there, but all are easily avoidable
@@ThePaleHiker thank you.
Always wanted to do this one!
cameo by Russell, which is neat; not not as neat as trains
Amazing Fogg at 3:37
I don't know if it still does, but the trail used to go beyond Poodle Dog Pass and on to Twin Lakes. It used to be a beautiful hike 40 some years ago.
I believe that trail still exists, but I decided to turn around at Silver Lake. I might have to go back and check out Twin Lakes at some point
What are the species of the big trees?
Possibly Sitka Spruce and Western Red Cedar
Beautiful trail. Nice video. Thanks for sharing. 👍1
Amazing views. Great video. Thanks for sharing. sub & 👍8
Is this the best view I can get on a not to cascades hike without getting into mountaineering
I’m not sure if this is the absolute best, but it’s gotta be up there. Another option that doesn’t require scrambling is Mt. Dickerman, which is also along the mountain loop highway. I still have more exploring to do, so I bet there are more options out there
Hello good your country 💗☺️💗☺️💗
Think you could move the camera any faster?
I’ve tried going faster in previous videos, but have found that to result in choppiness and clipping of the video. I’ll keep the speed in mind for future hikes, or maybe even increase to 60 fps.
@@ThePaleHiker that was sarcasm. Try a film class or two
Amazing view of Tahoma at 2:30!
I spent a night on Silver Lake last November. Monte Cristo is a weird place.
Lovely presentation my friend, trail looks so atmospheric!
Thanks for the video. Now I know I absolutely need to get up there. One of the shutters has been ripped off of my mom's cabin! The majority of those are still owned by people. Not abandoned!!!
Oh wow, that’s really cool!
Nice! I'm heading to that area in August. Probably only going to Monte Cristo though.
How is the river crossing?
River crossing wasn’t too bad. The water level is low, and there are well placed rocks and logs that can be used to avoid getting wet. There are some cairns that are good points to follow. The path I took was generally straight across with no weaving or diagonals necessary
@@ThePaleHiker I don't know about down there but it's been raining pretty good in Anacortes today. Don't know if that's going to affect the river come this weekend.
Is that a fallen tree, or a felled tree? The world may never know...
One could say Mother Nature felled the tree
Well, done framing at 0.58 and 5.08 and 9.44
thank you, wonderful.
Did that hike back in 1980 and 82. Interminable switchbacks to and from a great view and nice flowers later in the season.
We did this hike 2 months ago started at noon and completed it all the way to Serene Lake .
Beautiful hike and got up before the smoky haze starts. Some amazing views.
I hiked the P3 to Defiance to Mason lake loop on 7/7. I skipped Bandera after doing it a couple weeks ago. P3 was a little intense for me, as far as the exposure, but I bet you could make a great video of it.
Sounds like something I’ll have to look into!
@@ThePaleHiker Another hike that is worthy of more attention is Thompson Point via Granite Creek. Revolution Peak is passed Thompson Point, but I have not tried that yet.
Great video. I will either rehire Dickerman or Forgotten Mountain for the first time this weekend.
Pugh is an epic, arduous trek......well worth the effort. Start early though, it takes time to summit. I've topped it 3 times, once it was clear enough to see Puget Sound
Absolutely majestic scenery, opening was beautiful my friend!
Up high, thanks.
Beautiful. What time of day did you you go for it to be so quiet?
I try to get to the trailhead pretty early, typically between 7 and 8:30 AM. This definitely reduces trail crowding, and during warmer weather lets me finish the hike before it gets too hot
I sorta feel cheated the Roarin' Rapids merited a shout out in the comments, but the 2+ Babbling Brooks did not.
I tried to call out new nature features that haven’t gotten a shout out yet. I will be sure to highlight any babbling brooks in my next adventure
We heard you liked switchbacks. Meanwhile, here’s a baby babbling brook, RAINIER, and legs for days on that little yellow-spotted millipede unit
What a special and unique scenery my friend 👏👏
The content that keeps 'em coming back
Nice vid, but does this mean a pivot toward travel content? If so, I may have to reconsider my subscription: after all, I subbed to the Pale Hiker, not the Pale Traveler...
No sir, the primary content will remain as hiking. Hiking season in the PNW is just starting so expect regularly scheduled programming to resume shortly
Did this hike about 35 years ago. Was more of a scramble. Back then trails weren’t maintained like today
So Beautiful forest shot in a perfect trail.keep going to show as such a beautiful video. Thank you for sharing such an amazing video.Cheers 🍻 from Japan🤗🐕🐾🐾
Great vid! Gonna share this with my kids, they need to get back into nature and off their tablets!
