STEP INTO AUTUMN 3 Great Fall Hikes Around Seattle

SKYLINE TRAIL LOOP Found in Mt. Rainier National Park, the trail is about 5.4 miles long, but the loop is a relatively straightforward hike on a maintained trail suitable for all ages (though there are some inclines to be mindful of). The great thing about the Skyline hike is the view. It takes you close to Mt. Rainier — but not too close — so you can enjoy the grand mountain and all of its surroundings, including a waterfall, unimpeded. The trail begins near Paradise Inn. TWIN FALLS TRAIL Generally accessible year-round, the Twin Falls Trail in Olallie State Park off I-90 is a great way to immerse yourself in nature without traveling too far from home. The 2-mile trail winds through a diverse forest full of maples, conifers, and much more. It’s another trail suitable for all ages. And as the name suggests, there are two waterfalls along the path. Hikers with more experience can head to the Olallie Trail,

a 20-mile trail, which offers an exceptional backcountry experience.

WASHINGTON PARK ARBORETUM This one is much closer to home and makes for a great morning or afternoon “hike.” It’s a great destination for anyone who doesn’t want to stray too far but still wants to get out and get moving. The arboretum even provides visitors with information on fall hikes, so you can get the most out of your adventure. Plus, the Seattle Japanese Garden is often an extraordinary burst of color in the fall — especially if you time it just right! As with any hike, it’s important to be prepared. Before hiking, be sure to check park websites for updates on weather-related closures or COVID-19 restrictions. Plan accordingly and make sure you have all the gear you need before heading out, including water, snacks, and a first-aid kit. Stay safe and have fun!

It’s hard to beat an autumn hike that takes you into a world of fall colors and cool, crisp air. It’s the perfect way to feel refreshed and revitalized. The great thing about the Seattle area is that there are so many hiking opportunities to take advantage of. You can easily spend the afternoon or a day exploring nearby trails. Even better, many of our area trails are accessible for those of most ages and abilities. Here are three great options:
