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.

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

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.

Great suspension bridge that leads over a small but deep gorge.

This 150ft bridge is the focal point of the Ravine Experience at the Bellevue Botanical Gardens. Since it crosses the ravine, you'll get a unique perspective of the landscape, wildlife, and plants without your footprints causing damage to the forest floor.

The Icicle Creek flows through the enchanting valley of the same name near Leavenworth, Washington. Surrounded by lush forests and scenic mountain views, the creek is a serene waterway, offering multiple opportunities for outdoor activities. Enjoy the views at the crystal-clear waters and have a little break near the river.
