Summary

Washington is full of natural wonders, from the picturesque waterfalls to its iconic evergreen mountains. This driving tour from Seattle will take you out of the city and into nature, where you’ll have the chance to unwind, explore, and enjoy views that can only be found in the Pacific Northwest.

There are plenty of hikes near Seattle with varying levels of difficulty, so depending on the group’s abilities, we can stop for a moderate waterfall hike or really go for it on one of the Cascade Mountains’ more challenging trails.

Your tour guide will be happy to accommodate your group’s pace as you pass through dense hemlock-fir forests, talus slopes, and alpine meadows. Your reward awaits at the summit, with breathtaking panoramic views. Our more moderate experiences can stay a little closer to sea level. The Cascades have several amazing waterfall hikes, some of which are located in Washington State parks.

Throughout your Cascades tour, you’ll enjoy much more than just great hikes: your knowledgeable local guide will share with your group the natural history of the area, unique native plant and wildlife that can be found on specific trails, and fascinating stories connected to trail attractions. This is the perfect tour for anyone looking to get more out of their Cascades hiking experience!

Your full day of trekking on the best hiking trails in Washington can potentially include one or two hikes of any difficulty level and any other nearby attractions based on the group’s interest and guide’s recommendations.
