Bench and Snow Lakes Trail Hike Washington - Mount Rainier National Park - Epic Day Hike - AMAZING!
Bench and Snow Lakes Trail Hike Washington - Mount Rainier National Park. This was truly an epic day hike in the heart of Mount Rainier National Park. It was an easy enough hike for the entire family to complete, even my 6 year old was able to do all of it.
There were a couple of steep areas that gave your quads a nice workout, but overall it was more than doable, especially if you are not pressed for time. Take your time, enjoy the scenery and make your way up to Bench and Snow Lakes.
The trail stays pretty even up to Bench lake, there you will get a great view of Mount Rainier, assuming it's not hiding behind a could, like it was for us. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife and the distant waterfall coming off of Mount Rainier.
You the go a little further and cross a creek. Once you cross the creek you begin the ascent to Snow Lake. Your legs will be a little tired, but it was worth the wait!
Unicorn Peak waits for you as it stands proudly over Snow Lake. The lake has that beautiful turquoise glacial lake color.
You will not regret making your way up to this lake, for more information about the lake, how to get there and distance of the hike, check the link below!

Source Lake - Snow Lake Snowshoe | Washington State
Winter can be fantastic time to explore the back-country area near Alpental, next to Snoqualmie Pass.
The winter route to Source Lake on the south side of the valley is usually rather well defined and easily traversal by snowshoes or skis. From Source Lake, you can continue on to the top of the ridge overlooking Snow Lake, and just below Chair Peak. At about 3 miles, you'll find the slope tapers off as you enter a broad, tree-dotted meadow atop a broad saddle between Chair Peak and Snoqualmie Mountain. Stop and catch your breath here as enjoy the spectacular mountain vistas. Some of the route crosses avalanche hazard zones, so be sure to pay attention to the avalanche hazard rating for the day you plan to travel, and be properly equipped.

2012 - Mount Rainier National Park, Washington, USA
After visiting Mount Saint Helen's, I traveled north to Mount Rainier National Park in Washington state and spent two days hiking the base of the mountain at the foot of the glacier. Days prior, a nice couple told me of a lake that had the reflection of the mountain in the background. Although the park rangers told me that the trails leading to the lake was buried by snow and in some cases 10 feet of snow, I decided to do the hike anyways to see if I could reach Mirror Lake. After much hiking and a long day of vertical climbing, I finally reached my destination. Wow, it was worth it...I loved this park and will surely visit it once again...
Rampart Lakes and Rampart Ridge - Alpine Lakes Wilderness, Washington State
Rampart Ridge, and the adjacent Rampart Lakes, is a wonderful place to enjoy alpine scenery, especially in autumn with its vivid fall colors. From the top of the ridge, towering over Snoqualmie Pass, dozens of mountain peaks and ridge lines provide fantastic panoramic views in all directions. Crystal clear Rampart Lakes and the many surrounding tarns were carved from solid rock by glaciers. They form an integrate network of lakes, islands, and peninsulas that seemed to have been designed by a master landscaper. The people of Seattle are very fortunate to have all of this in their backyard.

Jade Lake Hike - Washington State
Jade Lake, located above Marmot Lake in the Cascade Mountain range of Washington State is magical, with bright azure colored water from Lynch Glacier and a towering mountain backdrop. The scramble route above Marmot Lake can be challenging when the rocks are coated with ice, but for those with mountaineering skills that wish to enjoy the essence of the Pacific Northwest in complete solitude, going there in mid October can be a once in a lifetime experience.

Hiking Granite Mountain - Washington State 2017
On this day (May 2017), I hiked and explored Granite Mountain located in Snoqualmie Region, Washington State along the I-90. The views from the summit are astonishing, however, it comes at a price with the mountain nearly 1000 feet gain per mile. The hike is about 8.6 miles round trip and its highest point is 5,629 feet (1,716 meters). This is an extremely tough hike but worth the views if anyone makes it to the top of the summit. Also, dogs are allowed on the hike, however, must be kept on a leash.

Hiking the Enchantments - Washington State
This video was made during an untypical snow free period in October, hiking from Colchuck Lake over 7,800 foot Aasgard Pass. The Enchantments are a very special region, high up in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness near Leavenworth Washington. Some say this astonishingly beautiful place has magical powers that will cast a spell on all those with open hearts. There are dozens of absolutely beautiful alpine lakes surrounded by stunning jagged mountain peaks in all directions.
It is difficult to get there, but well worth the effort.
Here you can find out more about the special permit you might need to camp in this area

Mountaineers Homesteaders and Artists - Ashford WA
Ashford Washington sits just 6 miles outside the Nisqually entrance to Mt. Rainier National Park. History is abundant here and it's a fun place to stay a while and look around. There are places to stay here in comfort just outside the main gates to the park and I'm certain you will meet some wonderful people with stories to tell about this place and it's past. It's somewhere we can't wait to come back to again. Thanks to the friendly people we meet we had fun discovering the story of the Ashford family. I hope you will enjoy it too when you come along with us.

Mount Rainier National Park is a United States National Park located in southeast Pierce County and northeast Lewis County in Washington state. It was established on March 2, 1899 as the fifth national park in the United States. The park encompasses 236,381 acres (369.35 sq mi; 956.60 km2) including all of Mount Rainier, a 14,411-foot (4,392 m) stratovolcano. The mountain rises abruptly from the surrounding land with elevations in the park ranging from 1,600 feet to over 14,000 feet (490 - 4,300 m). The highest point in the Cascade Range, around it are valleys, waterfalls, subalpine meadows, old-growth forest and more than 25 glaciers. The volcano is often shrouded in clouds that dump enormous amounts of rain and snow on the peak every year and hide it from the crowds that head to the park on weekends.
Mount Rainier is circled by the Wonderland Trail and is covered by several glaciers and snowfields totaling some 35 square miles (91 km2). Carbon Glacier is the largest glacier by volume in the contiguous United States, while Emmons Glacier is the largest glacier by area. About 1.8 million people visit Mount Rainier National Park each year. Mount Rainier is a popular peak for mountaineering with some 10,000 attempts per year with approximately 50% making it to the summit.
The park contains outstanding subalpine meadows and 91,000 acres (37,000 ha) of old growth forests
