Seattle is a gateway to some of the most awe-inspiring backpacking experiences in the Pacific Northwest. With its proximity to the Cascades, Olympic Peninsula, and Mount Rainier, the Emerald City is the perfect starting point for multi-day wilderness adventures. From alpine meadows and dense forests to glacier-fed rivers and breathtaking mountain vistas, the region offers endless opportunities to explore.
Seattle's surroundings are filled with iconic backpacking routes that cater to all levels of experience. Here are three must-visit destinations for your next backcountry trek:
A crown jewel of Washington’s wilderness, the Enchantments is a must-do - especially the Core Enchantments Zone. The 18-mile trail near Leavenworth is demanding but worth every step. You'll see alpine lakes, granite peaks and mountain goats.
This 93-mile loop encircles Mount Rainier, offering stunning views of glaciers, meadows, and cascading waterfalls. While completing the entire trail takes about 10-14 days, shorter sections are also perfect for a weekend backpacking trip.
This 34-mile out-and-back trail on the Olympic Peninsual winds through lush temperate rainforest, following the glacier-fed Hoh River up to Glacier Meadows. The gradual elevation gain makes it beginner-friendly with campsites along the way.
