ワシントンの峡谷・トップ20

Box Canyon is a narrow, dramatic gorge carved by the Muddy Fork of the Cowlitz River. It’s a quick but impressive stop along the Wonderland Trail, with a footbridge offering a dizzying view into the deep slot canyon below.

Ravenna Park is a ½ mile-wooded ravine that is a popular spot for hiking, jogging and picnics. There are several trails to explore for a longer hike. The open picnic area in the middle of the park is an excellent place to take time and enjoy the park's serenity. Large groups typically reserve the sites on the weekends, but you will likely have the area to yourself during the week.

Enjoy spectacular views of Glines Canyon Spillway from here. The water is shockingly turquoise and you may even see salmon swimming upstream!

Wilburton Hill Park has an old forest of tall timbers. You don't need a compass for navigation - just look at the moss on the tree trunks

This small, two-tiered waterfall and the surrounding area are popular ice-climbing destinations in the winter months, when the waterfall completely freezes.

A magical topography. I've been coming here for as long as I can remember, like 4 years old. This is next-level global architecture. Interior design, whatever. This landscape is worthy of fabled HHGTTG creative Slartibartfast, whose expertise lie in fjords.

This is a great spot to take in one of the Muddy River's powerful cascades as it pours through Lava Canyon — the water-carved remains of an old lava flow.

The North Fork of the Nooksack River, or Horseshoe Bend, is accessible year-round along the Mount Baker Highway, via an easy 2.4-mile roundtrip hike with a 220-foot elevation gain, making it suitable for the whole family. The trail reaches a highest point of 1,200 feet and provides a dramatic display of the North Fork of the Nooksack River. Originating from Mount Shuksan's glaciers, the river carved its path through house-sized boulders and snags, creating a narrow, tumultuous gorge. From the parking lot, descend wooden steps to the trail, which follows the river’s edge. The path provides stunning views of the river squeezing through the gorge and meanders through a moss-covered forest of firs, hemlocks, and cedars, before eventually petering out.
