A quiet place in September

Just off the shores of Lake Crescent, this is the shared trailhead for Marymere Falls Nature Trail (a relatively short, easy hike) and Mount Storm King, a stiffer climb that even has fixed ropes to help you on some sections.

Sequim Bay State Park offers a year-round respite for the weary. Along with a beautiful stretch of coastline the park also has a number of hiker-biker campsites designated for those that walk or ride in.

A beautiful alpine lake with abundant small trout rising.

Gladys Lake is situated just past Grand and Moose Lakes on the Grand Pass Trail. Set in a serene alpine meadow surrounded by mountains, this lake is worth the 3,000ft elevation gain roundtrip! Note that the majority of the ascent is saved for the end of the run - good training for multi-peak runs or ultras!

A breathtaking subalpine lake surrounded by mountains and forest, this one is worth the run! Located 12km from Sol Duc River Trailhead, Heart Lake is a great trail running destination if you're looking for an epic run and to feel small in the massive nature surrounding you. Follow Sol Duc River Trail all the way to the lake.

Only 5.5km from the Sol Duc River Valley parking area, Deer Lake is technically two lakes nestled in the trees of Olympic National Park. This is a beautiful spot to take a quick rest before carrying on to Round Lake or heading back!

Sequim Bay State Park offers year-round camping on 92 acres of saltwater coastline. It's located in the Sequim "rain shadow," known for its low rainfall. Great place to stop for a break!
