I want to get out and start hiking as soon as the weather starts getting a little warmer. Any good place you might know of for a good hike?

    NW Here. The most amazing place is the Gorge. You will find all different intensities there and gorgeous scenery to go along with it. We're close to the Gorge and try to never spend a weekend at home in the Summer. If you stop at one of the rest stops, there are maps that tell you all kinds of trails and there are websites that rate them. Enjoy.

    I'm from Olympia, WA. I'm not a big hiker, but I love taking walks around our national parks and down by the Sound.

    Hey! I'm in Seattle. Whereabouts are you? My best friend lives in the Portland area, and she knows lots of good Oregon spots. Do you need a hiking/walking partner in crime???

    Have you climbed Mt. Si? That's a great hike. There are also a lot of trails near Tiger Mountain and Snoqualmie Falls. Also, in Snohomish and Skagit Counties (pretty much as soon as you leave the urban area) there are a ton of places to just walk. As long as there isn't any timber harvesting going on, you should be able to walk/hike along the logging roads. There's a pretty walk north of Arlington just off of Highway 9 that is blocked by a gate but the roads behind it go for miles. Good luck!

    I grew up in Snohomish & remember hiking Wallace Falls when the weather was nice. I don't remember the difficulty level or anything but I do remember it being beautiful! Reading this section makes me miss the pacific northwest!! Happy hiking :)
