Washington has officially stolen our ❤️
Sharing some of the most scenic spots you can easily visit in 4-5 days if traveling in/out of Seattle. Which one would you go to first?
📍Mount Rainier National Park
Highly recommend Skyline Trail, you cannot visit this park and not hike here. 5.5 mile strenuous hike but so worth it! Arrive before 6am to avoid crowds and secure a parking spot
📍Hoh Rainforest
This place gets crowded quickly, but looks gorgeous even if it’s raining. Make sure to do the Hall of Mosses Trail and Spruce Nature Trail (both under 1.5 miles easy hike)
📍Panther Creek Falls
One of my favorite waterfalls! Easy and quick hike and views are so worth it!
📍Quinault Rainforest
Not as busy as Hoh Rainforest, so definitely worth a stop if it’s on your way. Recommending Quinault Loop Trail which is
under 4 miles.
📍Seattle
You cannot visit WA and not stop at the city! Reminded us a bit of San Francisco how it’s positioned by the water and is quite hilly. This view is found at Kerry Park.
📍Cape Flattery
The most northwestern point of USA that serves incredible views. Since it’s on Indian Reservation you need to purchase a $20 permit. 1.3 mile easy in and out hike
📍Ruby Beach
Washington beaches are beyond magical. They remind me so much of Iceland actually! Super peaceful but can get busy so come end of day if possible.
📍Lake Crescent
Whether you are hiking around here or just want to take a pause and enjoy lunch with views (and play a game of Uno), this place is the best!
Hope these spots inspired you to get out and explore this incredible state of Washington!
