Nice View

At 5,430 ft, Chinook Pass offers stunning mountain along Mather Memorial Parkway. The pass is open mid-May to November—check for seasonal closures before you go.

The summit of this pass is marked by a rustic stone-and-wood archway that happens to be part of the legendary Pacific Crest Trail. If you want to hop off your bike for a minute, there's a pretty, short nature trail here with great views of Mt. Rainier, the Cascade Mountains, and Tipsoo Lake.

From Cispus Pass, a hiker can look down into two stunning river valleys, the Cispus to the west and the Klickitat to the east. It is a challenging day hike.

Nestled within the Cowiche Canyon Conservancy, Snow Mountain Ranch spans 2,000 acres, rising over 1,000 feet from the South Fork of Cowiche Creek to Cowiche Mountain's summit at 2,970 feet. Its intricate network of approximately 14 miles of trails meanders through diverse shrub-steppe habitats, home to 200 plant species, 125 bird species, and 64 butterfly species—exceeding the biodiversity of the entire British Isles. Spring and summer invite avid birdwatchers and unveil a breathtaking wildflower spectacle. As autumn arrives, the riparian zone bursts into a kaleidoscope of colors, as oaks, aspens, cottonwoods, wild rose, and willows paint the landscape with vibrant hues of yellow, red, and orange.

From the top of Sourdough Gap, you can catch sight of Mount Adams, Mount St. Helens, and other peaks. Don't forget to look down and appreciate the scenic view of Sheep Lake. The Sourdough Gap is part of the Pacific Crest Trail.

Climbing up to the summit of majestic Mount Adams is a strenuous adventure. With 12,280 feet, it is the second highest peak in the Pacific Northwest just after Mount Rainier. There is snow at the top all year round, so bring at least microspikes and appropriate layers of clothing. The view from the top is breathtaking and very well deserved once you conquered this beast of a volcano. The easiest access is from the south side at Coldwater Springs Camp, but you will still gain an elevation of 6,600 feet. The best time to summit is from May through October and between May 1 and September 30 you need to obtain a Mount Adams Climbing Permit here: https://www.recreation.gov/activitypass/4280e9ae-d010-11ea-8e82-82c0c22bed90

At this locations, you will not see Mount Rainier itself. This is where the Naches Peak Loop Trail meets with the Pacific Crest Trail. You can decide to go left or right to get to Chinook Pass a little further north.
