Washington State offers a wide variety
of backpacking opportunities. The Olympic Peninsula has coastal
regions, rainforest and the Olympic Mountains. Central Washington
boasts the Cascades with trails from Oregon to the Canadian border.
The older I get the more attention I
give to the amount of weight to carry, the distance to travel, the
altitude to attain and the view when I arrive. There are many hikes, that can
be done in a weekend, with both great trails and spectacular scenery.
One of my most memorable moments is
waking up on the banks of Goat Lake to a crystal clear morning view
of Mount Adams through the door of the tent. | |
