Good hike, decent views. Better hikes in the Shenandoah, but this is only about an hour from DC, which is nice.

Did this hike today. It is great. Challenging at times (crawling up rocks) and a lot of elevation gain in not a lot of distance, but the views are totally worth it.

Beautiful views of the sunset (facing south and east) and sunrise. Really great camping spots close to overlook+

Stunning views along hurricane ridge of both the Olympic mountains and east towards Seattle and Vancouver

Quick and easy hike to a waterfall. Very crowded as it is easily accessible. Worth the short hike.

Quick up and back along the AT with plenty to see. Great view from the top as well as a hut and 2 springs along the way. We ran directly into a black bear on our descent - fortunately, we were making enough noise and the bear moved away - exciting stuff though!

Quick and relatively easy hike to a beautiful view!

We camped overnight at lunch lake. Very long first day. Lot of climbing. Saw a lot of wildlife, including a bear in the valley below. Breathtaking views.
