We did different portions of this hike two days in a row.  It was close to where we were
staying plus there was so much to see. Trailhead is modern with a
toilet.  You have to walk a bit on the old highway to reach the trail
and you're sharing with bikers. The highway was relocated because of the
rock slides, as you will see when you start.  Massive boulders scattered
everywhere.  There are two ways you can start this one.  We didn't have
maps and turned up the first trail we saw. The trail looked well used by
the bikers and had lots of smaller trails leading off.
The landscape looked like what we were back hiking in Scotland (which we have done).  Cliffs, rolling hills, and a few small waterfalls.  We scrambled
up one of the cliffs to take pictures and noticed a valley so headed
off-trail towards it.  Small caves in the sides of the cliffs with lots of coyotes,
large cat prints and elk scat everywhere.  Eagles flying over head
fighting for territory. They got surprisingly close to us as they chased each other at high speeds.
We sat in this valley for lunch.  Not really much of a run down.

Went to do Multnomah Falls, but construction at the falls had us start at the other trailhead - Wahkeena Falls.  Construction there also, but you could get around it.  The trail itself is asphalt for the first two miles, with river rock walls to help with mud slides.  A few areas where the water has worn away the trail anyway... watch your footing.  We visited 8 falls on this hike. It has 10 but the trail was closed closer to Multnomah so we had to turn around.  Wonderful forestry, lots to see other than the falls, definitely not a boring hike.  Trail was frozen in lots of places, especially around the falls, so the microspikes came in handy.  Didn't see any wildlife, but saw tracks on the trail.  A good run down until you hit the paved area again.

This is in Hood River on the Washington side.  Parking off the side of the road with room for about 20 cars. The trailhead us up a bit from the parking lot, with facilities.This trail starts out with a bang, it does level off for a bit, but not for long.  The trail is well maintained, with amazing views of the valley and surrounding mountains from the top of the trail.  Everything looks better covered in snow, and it definitely didn't disappoint!  It was VERY windy near the top (to the point where I had to hang on to Deb so that she didn't blow off of the mountain - these were probably 60-70 MPH gusts. Bitter cold with the wind.  Really good run down.

Looking into this hike we found two Green Mountains in the area, one off Middle Fork and one in Kitsap County.  We wanted to try the one on Middle Fork / Snoqualmie Road.A bit hard to find: drive past MailBox trail for several miles until you come to a small concrete bridge.  Park on the side of the road before the bridge. Cross the bridge on foot and at the very end of the bridge on the left hand side you will see what looks like a game trail. There is no trailhead and no facilities here.  The trail looks like a boot path but you can tell it has seen use.  The area is quite nice, large old growth trees, birds and no other people.  Cross a couple of forest service roads (on the second one, follow it and it turns back into a trail again after a mile or so). Found a nice waterfall hidden deep in the forest, so we ended up coming back to it for lunch before heading back.  Running down wasn't too bad, some flat sections that we had to walk.  The trail was really more of a mud-pit in some sections. We really want to try this one in the spring or summer when the trail is more dry.

We have done this hike quite a few times but this time around it was with both our kids and their significant others.  Lots of ice on the trail, especially down to Melawkwa Lake. Definitely needed the microspikes.  The waterfalls were awesome in their frozen state. On the way back down, we found a small hidden trail that led out to the large waterfall.  Set ourselves up and had lunch in the section above the falls.  Running down this trail is a bit hard as there are lots of smaller rocks sticking up everywhere.  Because we started so late, we ended up with the headlamps on for most of the trail back down.

Been here a couple of times now... as there are 2 different trails from this head. Hard to find the trail on this one.  Head right immediately and go down to the stream and go left toward a small waterfall.  Very steep, elevation gain doesn't really stop until you hit the ridge. Tons of newly downed trees, so be prepared to climb over/under.   Lots of wildlife tracks and scat.  We followed the trail to the end cliffs as the trail started to go down into what I would assume would be Cle Elum.  Pheasants in the bushes that we startled. Amazing views across the valley of the I-90.  Good views of Mt Rainier in the distance.  Great run down, but not until you get back into the forest, as there are large cat prints everywhere, and running could be considered "bait' ! :O)

This was our 3rd time here. Pretty easy hike, with lots of different landscapes and distractions off-trail :)Very well maintained trail, with an awesome tree-bridge. tons of small waterfalls and streams dot this trail during the winter, and are simply dried up during the summer, so it's like two different hikes. The lake itself is beautiful, but pretty cold due to lack of protection. The trees are NOT dense around the lake, so the wind whips through here pretty good. It was because of this hike that we went out and bought a Pocket Rocket and some small fire supplies). Beautiful hike.Great one for running down. Fairly steep climb, but nothing too drastic. We ran the entire way down, and made really great time.

We've done this a few times, and we go back for a reason... it's just plain cool scenery.  There's ALWAYS weather hanging around in the basin, so the fog & low-lying clouds tend to make it seem rather surreal at times. This follows a part of PCT North for Kendal Katwalk, taking the lower trail from the junction.  The valley views are awesome.  The hike isn't hard after the turn off.  Massive rock screes with picas chatting everywhere.  Good off-trail scrambling here!  You have to cross a waterfall section that is actually broken into two falls.  At this time of year they were rather easy, have gone in the wet season and it was almost impassable.  Mushrooms everywhere and really cool growth.  Pick a stream & head off-trail for a good lunch spot :)

This is on Stevens Pass, at Diablo Dam.  The drive was incredible, made lots of stops.  Spent probably an hour at the Dam taking pictures.  The trailhead is shortly after the Dam on a dead end road.  The trail is well maintained, nice elevation, not too steep. Followed animal tracks for quite awhile on the trail but never saw the animal.  Really nice views in some spots but the power lines get in the way.  Followed the trail to the next dam, the rest of the trail was closed due to a landslide.  Stopped at the lake just before the second dam for lunch.  Found some old structures out of bricks and stones, stairway that led to nowhere, the best part of the hike.  Not one of our most interesting hikes, but pretty cool area.
