    Thank you for this!!! I've also hiked Trappers Peak and thoroughly enjoyed the view! My recommendation for you, for a gorgeous out of state hike - it's a fourteener, is Mt Sneffels in the San Juan Mtn Range in Colorado! It's near the town of Ouray. Absolutely gorgeous!!

    thanks for the vid - agree about St Helens, once WSDOT gets the road back open Harry's Ridge trail is also an even more approachable yet still spectacular way to experience the area.

    I recently got into hiking within the past few years after watching my Mom summit Hood, Rainier and a few others in the Pacific NW. Your videos are so inspiring and I love the way you film. My favorite trail of 2023 was Kendall Katwalk and Colchuck Lake. I'm hoping to explore the North Cascades in 2024!

    I also loved Lake of the Angels although it may have been the buggiest hike I have ever done! Lol 😆

    It's 1000 miles to Lee Vining CA. 😅
    Beartooth #1 it's the wild. From pass very user friendly.
    The giant bowl of woods meadows is bear maul central. Yep.
    I go from pass to middle. Cross country.

    Great list! I've yet to do Trappers Peak or Mount Daniel. My big highlights were reaching the peak of Vesper and also hiking up to Hidden Lake Lookout. Thanks for all the hiking inspiration!

    • @wanderingwashington

      Hidden Lake and Vesper are both top hikes for me, so glad you got to them!!! Daniel is definitely worth the climb

    Thank you for taking us with you on your adventures!!! It's so inspiring and cool to see a woman out there solo hiking with no fear, and showing us we can do it too! Happy New Year!

    Beautiful revisit to beautiful places, Bonnie. My favorite hike is Gold Creek trail to Joe Lake. Gnarly trail and steep side of a waterfall climb, but so rewarding. I've done the trail 10 times and I hope you find this gem, too

    I got tons of inspiration from your hikes and climbs, more than I can ever follow up on myself. Thank you and I am looking forward to what you're going to share in 2024.

    So many tough choices, I did almost half my hikes this year in Oregon. So here is my Washington list.
    Best sunrise - High Hut
    Best sunset- Steptoe Butte
    Best lookout - Park Butte
    Best peak - Wright Mountain
    Toughest - Putrid Pete's Peak

    • @wanderingwashington
      @wanderingwashington  Před 7 měsíci

      Oh wow, so many fun places! Wright mountain is really so beautiful, and that slog up PPP is something else huh?

    • @brettlang4031
      @brettlang4031 Před 7 měsíci

      Wright Mountain is the best view I've seen without a volcano in Washington. And yes PPP is the only hike I almost gave up.

    I love tallying up my hiking stats at the end of the year! I'm getting in one more hike on the 31st and then to my excel sheet 😅
    One of my favorite hikes this year was Little Annapurna in the Enchantments! I also had so much fun hiking Vesper Peak, Sahale Arm, Snoqualmie Mt, Baldy/Tyler Peak, doing the High Divide thru hike and backpacking Snowgrass Flats! Can't wait for next summer 😊

    • @wanderingwashington
      @wanderingwashington  Před 7 měsíci +1

      Those are all amazing trails, it's really hard to beat Little Annapurna!

    Start hiking along I90 this year, the most memorable hiking are Snoqualmie Mountain, Mt Dickerman, Hidden Lake Lookout, and McClellan Butte (passed through the cloud on that day).

    • @wanderingwashington
      @wanderingwashington  Před 7 měsíci +1

      Those are all amazing trails, Hidden lake is so special, and Snoqualmie mountain was super memorable for me too!
