1. Discovery Park Outer Loop Trail: Ask a Seattleite what the biggest most spectacular park in the city is chances are they will reply “Discovery” without missing a beat.
With dramatic open vistas from the south bluffs, descending the winding trails, through the woods to the rocky beach the Outer Loop Trail has it all.

2. Point Defiance Perimeter Loop Trail: Busy beaches to quiet secluded forest, old growth trees, high bluffs and spectacular Puget sound views; you will see them all on the outer loop trail.

3. Barclay Lake Trail: A short tree covered streamside hike to Barclay lake is a perfect diversion for little legs with a refreshing dip under the massive Mount Baring as the reward.

4. Twin Falls: Accessible from two directions, the Twin falls trail follows along the South Fork of the Snoqualmie River to the dramatic bridge-crossing viewpoint.

5. Iron Goat Trail: This historical gateway is a wonderful outing for scenery and deepening appreciation of the perseverance of the thousands of workers that forged the passage through this section of the Cascades.

6. Lake Dorothy Trail: Abundant with great swimming and some prime campsites. Lake Dorothy is a popular destination for these very reasons.

7. Blue Lake Trail: Steep in places but well graded this moderate hike arrives at beautiful North Cascades alpine Blue Lake.

8. Ozette Triangle Trail: The classic Ozette “Triangle” with three stretches of trail boardwalk to beaches and forest connects the loop at the western most point in the continental United States.

9. Deception Pass Trails: With jaw dropping views around nearly every corner, this spectacular seaside route travels across tide pools, beaches, bridges and bluffs.

10. Greenwater Lakes Trail: Multiple river crossings, side waterfalls, massive trees and dramatic views down the Greenwater River gorge make this an engrossing hike for the entire family.

So the next time greet a Saturday morning with a sense of adventure and ask yourself what in the world are we going to do today? Remember, the trails await!
