The sun was setting on our evening hike much quicker than I had wanted.
Today some friends and I went to Mt. Washing to after work for a quick hike. Unfortunately, due to the late start we were unable to summit. The sun was starting to set and we decided to head back down so we wouldn't have to spend time hiking after dark. We did not make back to the trailhead before dark, so we got great use of our headlamps. Mt. Washington's trail does not have much in the way of views to the top but it is supposed to have amazing views of the I-90 corridor, Mt. Si and Mt. Tenerife. Someday soon I hope to come back and make it to the summit.
Directions from Seattle: Take the1-90 East to exit 38. Make a right off the interstate and the parking lot entrance will be on your right just before the road veers left. Then ascend the short trail from the parking lot, and reach the John Wayne Trail. Head west on the John Wayne Trail a short distance until the Iron Horse State Park/John Wayne Pioneer Trail sign appears, in about 150 feet there will be an unmarked trail on your left (this is the trailhead.) |
