Hikes (In order of
what I think is cool (just my opinion)):
- ***Trail “Doe Falls Trail”: https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/washington/doe-falls-trail--2
- 5.7 miles (BUT 10.5) total, keep reading. This
by itself might not have views, keep reading.
- BUT, take it to: “Suntop Trail to Buck Creek
Lake”: https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/washington/subtop-trail-to-buck-creek-lake
- This adds 4.8 making the total (10.5) (or could
just go to the lake.
- BUT looks like at the end it’s a top and could
be great views. (no trees at the top could be great view) (basically
its called “Slide Mountain”)
- (This continues to SunTop mountain, not sure
the extra miles is worth it Makes it 16 today: https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/washington/suntop-ohv-trail
- **Trail “Little Ranger Peak Trail”:
https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/washington/little-ranger-peak-trail
- 8.7 miles total (really 12.5 total)
- But lets go all the way to Little Ranger Peak
where the views are. Takes it from 8.7 to 12.5, but the extra miles are
all along ridge so should be easy (Palisades Trail)
- **Trail “Deep Creek Trail”: https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/washington/deep-creek-trail
- Maybe don’t have to do it all to get views. 11
or 8 round trip
- 8.5 total to Mutton Mountain which looks like
great views
