Naches Peak Loop Hike, Chinook Pass, WA, Family Friendly, 3.2 miles

Join me for a beautiful summer hike in the Cascade Mountains, just east of Mount Rainier National Park. This is a popular hike, with a large parking area off highway 410- it fills up quickly on summer days. This hike starts near Tipsoo Lake and circles around Naches Peak. It is rated as easy, but I wouldn’t say it’s Super easy… since it isn’t flat, and there are some roots and rocks and some elevation gain. It’s family friendly and very popular. So, if you’re in the area, I highly recommend giving this one a try!
