Sign-Up for A Fall Hiking Trip in the Northwest
Don’t let the rain and fog keep you from enjoying the great outdoors this fall season. Though conditions are not as ideal as the summer months, the scenery and plant life are exceptional this time of year. While we don’t advocate that inexperienced hikers explore when conditions may be treacherous (slippery trails, rock slide potential, inclement weather), we do encourage people to take guided hikes with professionals who know the terrain well and can help guide you through trailways the safest way possible. Below are just a few guided hikes in the Northwest you can sign-up for.
