Prepare for Fall Hiking in Washington

Fall begins next week 🍁🍂⏰ 🔖 save this for planning WA fall hikes! Layers are the 🗝️ to fall comfort in the PNW -need proper rain gear, water proof 🥾, 🧤, beanies, a good puff jacket, rain jacket, rain cover for your bag, and mid layer- the weather can turn in an instant in autumn. Pro tip: bring a thermos of a yummy hot Beverage to sip at your break. Here are my top 8 favorite WA fall hikes for poppin colors: 1. Lake ingalls - larches 2. Blue lake 3. Maple pass loop 4. Colchuck lake 5. Yellow Aster Butte 6. Jade and marmot lake (pictured) 7. Chain lakes loop 8. Cutthroat Lake Can’t hike? No worries - here are some WA fall drives to take: 1. Artist point Mt baker 2. Mountain loop highway 3. North cascades highway 4. Stevens pass, tumwater canyon and Leavenworth 📝Notable deciduous foliage you’ll see: huckleberry, larch, vine maple, red alder, birch Happy trails! Remember to leave no trace - speaking of, check out @kulacloth to take with you so you don’t leave 🧻 behind. I take mine every hike AND to international travels because foreign bathrooms often charge for tp and/or don’t provide any.
