Reply to comment by quick3brs in Washington state itinerary by eurbradnegan

Thanks, heads up on the traffic is helpful, I figured it would be bad in the summer but I’ll definitely make sure we arrive early! We are above average hikers but if we have to omit something because we’re too exhausted I won’t be upset. It’s more of a best case scenario itinerary I reckon.

Did skyline loop take you 5 hours because you were exhausted or because you went at a more leisurely pace taking in the scenery?

I'd say a combination of both. Steep hills, switchbacks, stopping for lunch, pictures, etc. The skyline trail is worth it though, the panorama point viewpoint at the top is beautiful. But to be fair, I last hiked it about a decade ago so my memory might be fuzzy.
