The snow is melting, the flowers are blooming, the days are becoming longer, and spring has finally sprung in the Pacific Northwest! Spring is such a beautiful time to hike here in Washington and Oregon since all the winter rain and snow makes for the most ideal conditions for lush green mossy trails, flowing waterfalls, and meadows of vibrant yellow Balsamroot and purple Lupines! Grab your camera, a good pair of hiking boots, roll the windows down, turn up your favorite playlist, and get ready to explore some of the most beautiful spring hikes here in the Pacific Northwest! Spring Playlist Research + Navigation I recommend downloading the Alltrails app – this is the best app in my opinion for finding trails that are suitable for hiking or backpacking. You can filter out the trails you are searching through with the keywords like “Wildflowers,” “Waterfall,” and “Lake” for example so you can find your very perfect spring hiking trail! Also, we love using Washington Trails Association Trip Reports , it is another great place to research trails and look up recent trip reports. But keep scrolling – we have plenty of beautiful trail recommendations for spring hiking in Washington and Oregon. Passes for hiking in Washington & Oregon To hike most of the trails in Washington you need a Discover Pass, Northwest Forest Pass, or America the Beautiful Pass (or can pay the entry fee to the national park). Check Alltrails to see if the trail you are going to require one of these passes. Map What to pack Insulated Jacket: If you need extra insulation under your jacket or just want a lighter weight insulated jacket – the Patagonia Nano puff is my absolute favorite jacket and the one I wear the most out of any of my jackets. Rain Jacket: Olympic National Park is known for rain so come prepared with a good rain jacket. My favorite investment has been the Arcteryx Rain Jacket. I love how small it packs down and how dry it keeps me on rainy days in the PNW. Leggings: I love hiking in leggings since they are more comfortable to me than hiking pants. Bonus points if they have pockets! My favorite pair linked here. Tops & Base layers: Base layers are a must when hiking in the PNW. They’ll keep you warm and dry while also being breathable! I also love wearing these at night while camping or backpacking to keep me warm. My favorite base layer top and bottom are linked! It may seem pricey but it’s so worth it to invest in a quality base layer the performs well AND will last you for years and years. Sports Bra: my favorite linked here. Hiking Boots/Shoes: Highly suggest water resistant and durable hiking boots here in the PNW. My absolute favorite are my Danner Adrika Hiking Boots. They keep my feet warm and dry, are lightweight, and stylish! Hiking socks: Keep your feet warm and dry. My go-to hiking socks are REI or Darn Tough. Camera & Equipment: Don’t forget your camera to capture all of the beauty! All my camera equipment that I use is linked here. First Aid Kit: Always, always come prepared and have a first aid kit handy. Day Pack: Protect your camera, hiking. gear and beloved snacks from the rain. Day pack linked here. Refillable water bottle: Stay hydrated on the trails. Water Reservoir: These are next level and help keep you more hydrated on the trails. They store more water and are lighter than the stainless steel refillable water bottles. The straw from the reservoir feeds up to your backpack strap for easy sipping and hiking at the same time. Sunglasses: Indeed the sun does shine in the PNW. Bring your sunnies! Headlamp: Great for hiking in the dark before sunrise hikes or after sunset hikes. Linked here. Beanie: Keep your noggin and ears nice and toasty. Sunscreen: Again, the sun indeed does shine in the PNW! Lather up and avoid getting sunburnt. AllTrails Subscription: Download offline trail maps, search for hikes in the area. Leave No Trace Please do your part to keep our National Parks wild and beautiful and leave them better than you found them. Pack out everything you pack in, stay on designated trails (please do not trample wildflowers), and be mindful and respectful these beautiful places. The 7 Principles of Leave No Trace Lower Falls Creek Trail Location: Gifford Pinchot National Forest, Washington Distance: 3.2 miles Elevation Gain: 695 feet Difficulty: Moderate Pass: Discover Pass Dog Friendly: Yes Even though this is such a long drive from Seattle – this trail had to be added to the list because it is hands down my favorite waterfall in Washington. It is much closer to Portland so make a weekend out of it and book a place down in Portland to visit this trail along with so many other waterfall trails in Oregon! Dog Mountain Location: Columbia River Gorge, Washington Side Distance: 6.5 miles Elevation Gain: 2,988 feet Difficulty: Hard Pass: America the Beautiful Pass Dog Friendly: Yes One of the most beautiful wildflower hikes we have ever done. Permits are required to hike on weekends during peak wildflower season, from April 29 – June 19. For more information, visit: https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/crgnsa/recreation/hiking/recarea/?recid=29902&actid=50 Green Lake Trail Location: Mount Rainier National Park, Washington Distance: 9 miles Elevation Gain: 1,466 feet Difficulty: Moderate Pass: America the Beautiful Pass Dog Friendly: No This is the perfect late spring / early summer trail to hike that is accessible and snow-free while other trails at higher elevation around Mount Rainier are no accessible due to snow. It was one of the lushest, greenest, and most beautiful trails up to a serene alpine lake. No wonder they call it “green” lake trail! We did this hike in the rain, and the moody conditions were perfection. There’s also a an epic waterfall hike on your hike up called Ranger Falls that you must check out! Middle Fork Snoqualmie River Trail Location: Mount Baker Snoqualmie National Forest, Washington Distance: 24.7 miles (hike as much […]
