Backpack to Navaho Pass
Cle Elum, Washington

/ 4220 ft gain
This is a beautiful trail in the Teanaway area, located in Washington State. The trailhead starts along the Stafford Creek Trail and follows the creek for the first couple miles of the trail. There are a number of different types of wildflowers out here that make the first few miles a nice warmup. The trail is very straightforward, climbing almost five miles fairly gradually, to get to the firs...
Backpack to High Camp on Ruby Mountain
Rockport, Washington

Ruby Mountain is one of the North Cascades more prominent peaks, sitting high above Diablo and Ross Lakes.

The magical Goat Rocks Wilderness area is just southeast of Mt. Rainier. It also lies right in the crosshairs of the scenic Pacific Crest Trail. You have a decision to make before you even hit the trailhead;...
Umatilla Rock Trail
Coulee City, Washington

While you probably won't accidentally find yourself out here, this is definitely an area to become acquainted with. This otherworldly landscape sits at roughly the halfway point for a fifty-mile stretch of the earth referred to as the Coulee Corridor. This land is a prime example of the sheer power and force that Mother Nature has over what we call home. Walking among these massive rock walls w...
