Mount Ellinor Trail
Mount Ellinor trail is one of the hardest trail I've ever done. Not for the faint of heart, its views are rumored to be the prettiest in Washington. Unfortunate for us it was cloudy the day we went but it was still pretty. Here is info about the hike and what you need to know before you go.

Lake Cushman
Lake Cushman is one of my favorite lakes in Washington and is a must do for its beautiful views and not-so-chilly water. It is located close to the southern part of Olympic National Park. We stopped at a day use area to enjoy the water, eat a picnic lunch, and use our new kayak.

Maryhill Stonehenge
Maryhill Stonehenge is a replica of the real Stonehenge in England. This one is actually a Veteran's memorial. It looks just as beautiful as the real one and is set on the top of a hill in the Columbia River Gorge.

Horsethief Butte Trail
This hike is easy and provides an amazing view of the Columbia River Gorge. It only took us about 25 minutes to do and is right off the highway. I use the All Trails App for trail info and directions!
