Top Trekking Hiking in Washington

I suggest starting the hike early, like around 7 am. You'll beat the crowds and catch the best light for photos! It gets busy pretty quick after that, trust me

I recommend dressing in layers, as the weather can change quickly. It was sunny when I started, but I ended up needing a jacket about halfway through!

Check out the trail conditions before you go. Sometimes it can get muddy, and I'd suggest wearing sturdy shoes to avoid slipping. It made my hike much more enjoyable!

One thing I wish I knew earlier was to pack a lunch and plenty of water. There's no place to buy food on the trail, and it gets hot out there. Plus, picnicking with those views is a game changer.

My advice is to bring plenty of water and snacks. Some sections can feel steep, and the view at the top is worth the energy boost you’ll need.
