You have a very solid list, not much to say. One thing to be aware of, that Lake Colchuck hike is going to be very busy. I would get there before sunrise. I'm not even joking, there were like 100 cars when I went last summer, and I got there just after sunrise. The parking lot was full and there was like a mile of cars parked along the forest road. I don't think during the entire hike I was alone, it was a fucking mob of people. That said, the hike was lovely and the payoff at the top is worth it. But get there early!

That is really good to know! I will definitely arrive before sunrise now that you mention that. I anticipated it being busy but I definitely want to get parking. Does it require any kind of parking pass I need to get in advance you’re aware of? I thought I read something about that.

You just need a Northwest Forest Pass and have it displayed in your vehicle. I'm not sure how these passes work for out of state people visiting, so I'd look into that. The other pass you'll want to look into getting is the Discover Pass, which is required for state owned parks and recreation areas.
